This is wrong. flags are provided by the caller, so the caller
decides on the memory allocation scope, not this function.
As it is, I can't say I like this whole patchset. This is not what
the scoped memory allocation API was intended for. i.e. it was
intended to mark large regions of memory allocation restrictions for
disjoint operations, not replace a neat, clean flag interface
with a mess of save/restore calls and new ways to screw up error
handling....
Cheers,
Dave.
