As followups it would be nice to: 1) See if any of the GFP_ATOMIC's can be moved to GFP_KERNEL. I do understand that many of these call sites are running in software interrupt context or are holding spinlocks and thus must use GFP_ATOMIC. 2) Change these 64 and 128 constant sizes to something with a name.
