Yes, "__SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(old_style_spin_init)" is wrong. We'll fix it.

Yes, this is better. Did you already make this change when you applied it to
your -mm repo?

So does that mean that "GFP_DMA | GFP_KERNEL" is always wrong? If so, this

I had completely forgotten about __GFP_ZERO. Thanks.

I thought a space after a cast is the right thing to do?

Sorry, we forgot to run it again after our second version of the patch.

Sorry, but I don't understand what's wrong with this code.

We'll make the other changes you've suggested and repost.
