Right, the allocation failure here is harmless. I should probably do
the same for the page_alloc.c case as well.

Thanks!

There's a git tree of these over at: git://github.com/gby/linux.git
branch ipi_noise_v4 in case that helps.

I will send v5 (and create a new git branch for it) with the above
changes and the Arm patch description update once I get an Ack from
Russel K.

Cheers,
Gilad
