Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 05/22] mm, tile: add gfp flags variant of pmd
 and pte allocations


- Added function __pte_alloc_one() which is very similar to pte_alloc_one(),
  but also accepts an additional gfp_t allocation flag.

- The pte_alloc_one() function calls __pte_alloc_one().

- Added function __pte_alloc_one_kernel() to accept and then pass the
  allocation flag to __pte_alloc_one().

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() calls __pte_alloc_one_kernel().

- Added function __pmd_alloc_one to allocation pmd entries using the
  specified allocation flag. It works by passing the allocation flag
  to __pte_alloc_one().

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
