See this thread about GFP_DMA32:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/834864/

I need to look back at this set earlier versions, I do not know why
you change the allocation flags but GFP_DMA32 may not provide what
you need - I think you should either remove it or provide a
justification for it given the discussion above.
