Re: [PATCH v2] dma-pool: Fix too large DMA pools on medium systems

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Guenter,

can you try the patch below?  This just converts the huge allocations
in mptbase to use GFP_KERNEL.  Christophe (added to Cc) actually has
a scripted conversion for the rest that he hasn't posted yet, so I'll
aim for the minimal version here.
