Argh... still broken.

In fact, my initial patch added it to the page allocator, which worked
for me. Pekka patch removed that and made it slab-only. So I'm blowing
up at boot in lockdep or so because I'm allocating page tables on
ppc32 with __get_free_pages() and GFP_KERNEL.

I'll cook up a patch.

Cheers,
Ben.
