[RFC][PATCH v2 20/23] (xtensa) __vmalloc: add gfp flags variant ofpte, pmd, and pud allocation

From: Prasad Joshi
Date: Mon Mar 14 2011 - 14:07:32 EST


__vmalloc: propagating GFP allocation flag.

- adds functions to allow caller to pass the GFP flag for memory allocation
- helps in fixing the Bug 30702 (__vmalloc(GFP_NOFS) can callback
file system evict_inode).
