Subject: [PATCH 0/2] GFP_NOFAIL reserves + warning about reserves depletion

Hi,
The first patch has been posted [1] last time and it seems there is no
major opposition to it. The only concern was a warning which was used
to note the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS request for the __GFP_NOFAIL failed.

I still think that the warning is helpful so I've separated it to 
its own patch 2 and make it more generic to all ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
failures. The warning is on off but an update to min_free_kbytes
allows dump the warning again.
