Dont tell me you _still_ use a 32bit kernel ?

If so, you need to tweak alloc_large_system_hash() to use vmalloc,
because you hit MAX_ORDER (10) page allocations.

But considering LOWMEM is about 700 Mbytes, you wont be able to create a
lot of route cache entries.

Come on, do us a favor, and enter new era of computing.
