Subject has stray 't' at the end?

Well if you want more cleanups, I can see in iommu_alloc_pages_node_sz():


        /*
         * __folio_alloc_node() does not handle NUMA_NO_NODE like
         * alloc_pages_node() did.
         */
        if (nid == NUMA_NO_NODE)
                nid = numa_mem_id();

        folio = __folio_alloc_node(gfp | __GFP_ZERO, order, nid);

Should we introduce folio_alloc_node() and make __folio_alloc_node()
mm-internal, for consistency?
