Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 07/22] mm, sh: add gfp flags variant of pmd and
 pte allocations


- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() function to allow caller to allocation flag.
   Like pte_alloc_one_kernel() this newly added function calls
   quicklist_alloc() and passes the allocation flag down the call hierarchy.

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() is modified to call
  __pte_alloc_one_kernel() using the correct allocation flag.

- Similar changes for pmd allocations. Added function __pmd_alloc_one().

- The changes help in fixing the Bug 30702.
