 * - When order is larger or equal to CONFIG_PPM_PAGE_ORDER, the PPM (Physical Pages
 *   Manager) allocates 2**(order - PPM_PAGE_ORDER) contiguous small physical pages.
 *   This allocator implements the buddy algorithm.
 * - When order is smaller than CONFIG_PPM_PAGE_ORDER, the KCM (Kernel Cache Manager) 
 *   allocates an aligned block of 2**order bytes from specialised KCM[ORDER] caches
 *  (one KCM cache per block size).
