I see in x86, the die chain notifiers are called first
before going to debugger but in powerpc its the
other way round.
Any reason for this inconsistency?
Because, I wanted to take some action before falling

Adds support for page coalescing, which is a feature on IBM Power servers
which allows for coalescing identical pages between logical partitions.
Hint text pages as coalesce candidates, since they are the most likely
pages to be able to be coalesced between partitions. This patch also

A filesystem might run into a problem while calling
__vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) inside a lock.
It is expected than __vmalloc when called with GFP_NOFS should not
callback the filesystem code even incase of the increased memory
