Subject: huge failed atomic allocation in dccp.

This strikes me as somewhat bizarre..

modprobe: page allocation failure. order:10, mode:0x20
Pid: 10505, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 #1

Call Trace:

An order 10 GFP_ATOMIC allocation failing shouldn't really be surprising.
The hash sizing in dccp_init seems to cope with this situation
by trying successively smaller values, but this will cause
spew to the logs whilst it's doing that.
