This looks much better, thanks:

By the way, I was checking the block in memory_failure() that handles
refcount=0 pages, concretely the piece of code that handles buddy pages.

In there, if we fail to take the page off the buddy lists, we return
MF_FAILED, but I really think we should be returning MF_IGNORED.

Thoughts?
