This doesn't seem to be a bug.  do_proc_bulk is simply trying to 
allocate a kernel buffer for data passed to/from userspace.  If a user 
wants too much space all at once, that's their problem.

As far as I know, the kmalloc API doesn't require the caller to filter 
out requests for more the MAX_ORDER bytes.  Only to be prepared to 
handle failures -- which do_proc_bulk is all set for.

Am I wrong about this?  Should we add __GFP_NOWARN to the gfp flags?
