I would have written it more compact. When using BUG_ON or WARN_ON it is 
interesting to have three separate lines because you get the line number 
in the Oops message, but here you are just returning the exact same 
error code, so it could be:

	if (unlikely(!size || offset_in_page(size) || !is_power_of_2(align)))
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
