Hi again,

[it compiles, but I have not runned it yet]

I read through __alloc_pages again and found out that allocs with order > 0
are not treated nicely.

To begin with if order > 0 then direct_reclaim will be false even if it is
allowed to wait...

This version allows direct_reclaim with order > 0 !

How?

Like we finally end up doing anyway...
reclaiming pages and freeing.

While adding this I thought why not always do it like this,
even with order == 0?
since it will allow for merging of pages to higher orders.
Before returning a page that was not mergeable...

Doing this - the code started to collaps...
__alloc_pages_limit could suddenly handle all special cases!
(with small functional differences)

Comments?
