qubes-linux-kernel/patches.suse/SoN-08-mm-page_alloc-emerg.patch

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> 
Subject: [PATCH 08/31] mm: emergency pool
Patch-mainline: not yet

Provide means to reserve a specific amount of pages.

The emergency pool is separated from the min watermark because ALLOC_HARDER
and ALLOC_HIGH modify the watermark in a relative way and thus do not ensure
a strict minimum.
