I still don't understand why you have to change __get_free_pages(). I see
no advantage to the changes.

I also very strongly disagree with your changes to "try_to_free_pages()",
which makes it _always_ return a success (unless called recursively),
which just obviously cannot be correct - it doesn't give the caller any
information at all (the caller already had the "recursion" information).
