This is not an equivalent test to highmem. Movable cannot store page table
pages and the highmem:lowmem ratio with this configuration is higher than
it should be. The OOM is still odd but the differences are worth
highlighting.

Ok, high-order allocation failure for an allocation request that can
enter direct reclaim.

Present is corrupt but it's also interesting to note that
all_unreclaimable is true.

And it's true even though enough free pages are actually free so it's
not even trying to do the allocation.
The all_unreclaimable logic is related to the number of pages scanned
but currently pages skipped contributes to pages scanned. That is one
possibility. The other is that if all pages scanned are skipped then the
OOM killer can believe there is zero progress.
