I think, maybe, the following part of this patch broke nommu.

- new_batch = max(1, zone_batchsize(zone));
+ new_batch = zone_batchsize(zone);

Before this change on nommu zone_batchsize() returns 0 but the max()
changes it to 1. Now it'll stay as 0 and anywhere that depends on it
not being 0 won't work?

I'm seeing a deadlock on nommu:
