Hi Matthew,

Alternatively, try this. It passes in GFP_DMA32 from vmalloc_32,
regardless of whether ZONE_DMA32 exists or not. If ZONE_DMA32 doesn't
exist, then we clear it in __vmalloc_area_node(), after using it to
determine that we shouldn't set __GFP_HIGHMEM.

IIUC, I need to let drivers/media drivers start using vmalloc_32() with your patch, right?
