I've tried more to trigger "page allocation failure" with usual actions that 
triggered it previously but couldn't reproduce. With these patches applied it 
doesn't happen.

Logs from my tests:

http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/log-mm-3.txt.gz
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/log-mm-4.txt.gz (with swap added)

But are these patches solving the problem or just hiding it?
