Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 13/22] mm, mips: add gfp flags variant of pmd
 and pte allocations


- Added __pmd_alloc_one to allocate pages using the given allocation flag.

- Changed pmd_alloc_one to call __pmd_alloc_one and pass
  GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flag.

- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel to allocate zeroed pages using the given
  allocation flag. The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() has been changed to
  call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT
  allocation flags.

- Helps in fixing the Bug 30702
