Ah, I see that now. Thanks for the explanation.

Does it need to be created with page sized minimum alloc order? That
granularity makes it difficult to fit SQs in CMB on archs with larger
pages when we only needed 4k alignment.

I was also hoping to extend this for PRP/SGL in CMB where even 4k is
too high a granularity to make it really useful.

It looks like creating the gen pool with a smaller minimum and
gen_pool_first_fit_order_align algo would satisfy my use cases, but I'm
not sure if there's another reason you've set it to page alignment.
