> gfp here instead of GFP_KERNEL?

This is, from what I remember, intentional - it's a temporary allocation 
which doesn't need to have the same restrictions as the actual buffer 
being allocated (e.g. GFP_DMA32 etc.). We don't need to worry about 
GFP_ATOMIC since the whole thing is only ever called in sleeping contexts.
