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.
