It is tricky - pages are not marked as compound, I split them manually
into 0-order ones after they were allocated as higher order.
I do that exactly for purpose of freein lru list.

Yes, I is better.

It came from AVL tre implementation - generally it is better to operate
with one type so it could be replaced easily - for example is someone
will decide to use it not only for networking and thus 16bits will not
be enough one should only change above typedef.

If you think so...

Ugh, it has a loop, will uninline.

I think it is ok - it the same as avl_get_cpu_ptr() above only return
value differs.

Ok, it should be even better for icache to uninline them.
