No, you're not crazy, you're right:
#define __GFP_DMA 0x01
#define __GFP_HIGHMEM 0x02
/* Action modifiers - doesn't change the zoning */
#define __GFP_WAIT 0x10 /* Can wait and reschedule? */
#define __GFP_HIGH 0x20 /* Should access emergency pools? */
#define __GFP_IO 0x40 /* Can start physical IO? */
#define __GFP_FS 0x80 /* Can call down to low-level FS? */
#define __GFP_COLD 0x100 /* Cache-cold page required */
#define __GFP_NOWARN 0x200 /* Suppress page allocation failure warning */
bits 3-6 of gfp masks are totally unused.
