Should we at least go for add-__gfp_movable-for-callers-to-flag-allocations-from-high-memory-that-may-be-migrated.patch create-the-zone_movable-zone.patch allow-huge-page-allocations-to-use-gfp_high_movable.patch handle-kernelcore=-generic.patch in 2.6.23? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
