Hi Mel,
I know lots of people doesn't like direct reclaim,
It's not direct reclaim that is the problem per-se, it's direct reclaim
calling writepage and splicing two potentially deep call chains

I have talked to Mel on IRC, and the above means:
"calling alloc_pages from an already deep stack frame,
and then going into direct reclaim"
That explanation would have been helpful in email :)
