Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 17/22] mm, ia64: add gfp flags variant of pud,
 pmd and pte allocations


- Added __pud_alloc_one which allows caller to specify the gfp_t flag.
   Like pud_alloc_one the function calls quicklist_alloc() and passes
   the given allocation flag.

- Changed pud_alloc_one to call __pud_alloc_one using GFP_KERNEL.

- Added similar changes for pte and pmd allocation functions.

- Helps in fixing the Bug 30702.
