Here I set the allocation mask to not print _any_ warnings when
allocation is atomic ...

... but it is an atomic one, which after the patch should not be
printing _any_ warning ...

I dunno, I really don't. but I did just verify the patch and it is correct and applied.

Thanks,
Rick
I am very confused now.
