Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 11/22] mm, parisc: add gfp flags variant of pmd
 and pte allocations


- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() function to allocate zeroed page using
   passed allocation flag. The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() is changed to
   call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation
   flags.

2-level page table support
- Added macro __pmd_alloc_one which is same as pmd_alloc_one, but has an extra
  argument to pass gfp_t

3-level page table support
- Added function __pmd_alloc_one() to allocate pages using allocation flag.
  The allocation flag is argument to the function.

- The function pmd_alloc_one() is changed to call __pmd_alloc_one(), passing
  GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- All these changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
