qubes-linux-kernel/patches.suse/SoN-10-mm-page_alloc-GFP_EMERGENCY.patch

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> 
Subject: [PATCH 10/31] mm: __GFP_MEMALLOC
Patch-mainline: not yet

__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, 
much like PF_MEMALLOC.

It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in object related allocation
flags as opposed to task related flags, such as sk->sk_allocation.
