9 * get_order - Determine the allocation order of a memory size
10 * @size: The size for which to get the order
11 *
12 * Determine the allocation order of a particular sized block of memory. This
13 * is on a logarithmic scale, where:
14 *
15 * 0 -> 2^0 * PAGE_SIZE and below
16 * 1 -> 2^1 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^0 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
17 * 2 -> 2^2 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^1 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
18 * 3 -> 2^3 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^2 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
19 * 4 -> 2^4 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^3 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
20 * ...
21 *
22 * The order returned is used to find the smallest allocation granule required
23 * to hold an object of the specified size.
24 *
25 * The result is undefined if the size is 0.
26 *
27 * This function may be used to initialise variables with compile time
28 * evaluations of constants.
