/**
 * get_order - Determine the allocation order of a memory size
 * @size: The size for which to get the order
 *
 * Determine the allocation order of a particular sized block of memory.  This
 * is on a logarithmic scale, where:
 *
 *	0 -> 2^0 * PAGE_SIZE and below
 *	1 -> 2^1 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^0 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
 *	2 -> 2^2 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^1 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
 *	3 -> 2^3 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^2 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
 *	4 -> 2^4 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^3 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
 *	...
 *
 * The order returned is used to find the smallest allocation granule required
 * to hold an object of the specified size.
 *
 * The result is undefined if the size is 0.
 *
 * This function may be used to initialise variables with compile time
 * evaluations of constants.
