This should be & ~GFP_ZONEMASK

Actually, we should probably have a function to clear those bits rather
than have every driver manipulating the gfp mask like this.  Maybe

#define gfp_normal(gfp)		((gfp) & ~GFP_ZONEMASK)

	return (unsigned long)kmem_cache_alloc(pool->handle_cachep,
-			gfp & ~(__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_MOVABLE));
+			gfp_normal(gfp));
