Hmm. Assuming all the other allocators using __alloc_pages are inlined, that
should work. I'll try that and if that works will incorporate in the

I don't think IS_ENABLED is required because the tagging functions are already
defined as empty if the appropriate configs are not enabled. Unless I
misunderstood
your node.
