40 * These two functions allocate physical memory in a local or remote cluster
41 * as specified by the <cxy>, <order> and <flags> arguments, and return a local
42 * pointer on the allocated buffer. The buffer size (in bytes) is a power of 2,
43 * equal to (1 << order) bytes. It can be initialized to zero if requested.
44 * Depending on the <order> value, it uses two specialised allocators:
45 * - When order is larger or equal to CONFIG_PPM_PAGE_ORDER, the PPM (Physical Pages
46 *   Manager) allocates 2**(order - PPM_PAGE_ORDER) contiguous small physical pages.
47 *   This allocator implements the buddy algorithm.
48 * - When order is smaller than CONFIG_PPM_PAGE_ORDER, the KCM (Kernel Cache Manager)
49 *   allocates an aligned block of 2**order bytes from specialised KCM[ORDER] caches
50 *  (one KCM cache per block size).
