[PATCH 08/31] mm: emergency pool

[Suresh Jayaraman]

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> 

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.
