Re: + mm-fix-panic-in-__alloc_pages.patch added to -mm tree

I have opposed this patch http://lkml.kernel.org/r/YYj91Mkt4m8ySIWt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There was no response to that feedback. I will not go as far as to nack
it explicitly because pcp allocator is not an area I would nack patches
but seriously, this issue needs a deeper look rather than a paper over
patch. I hope we do not want to do a similar thing to all callers of
cpu_to_mem.
