If kvalloc_node() is going to call kmalloc() without checking for a
huge allocation request then surely it should set __GFP_NOWARN.  And it
shouldn't bother at all if size > KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE, surely?  So
something like

And we could fix this in the floppy driver.

But do we really need to do this?  Are there any other known potential
callsites?
