It fixes at least the corrupted output of show_free_areas().
DMA: 4294966389*4kB 4294966983*8kB 4294967156*16kB .....
Normal: 4294954991*4kB 4294962949*8kB 4294965607*16kB ....
now it's
DMA: 248*4kB 63*8kB 7*16kB 1*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB ...
Normal: 204*4kB 416*8kB 157*16kB 20*32kB 3*64kB ...

Good catch.

But it still does not fix the random madness of oom-killer. Once it is
triggered it keeps going even if there is 50MB free memory available.
