We haven't noticed that just because the OOM is enabled only for page faults of order-0 (single page) and get_order work just fine. Thanks for noticing this. If we ever start triggering OOM on different orders this would be broken.

Btw. a quick git grep shows that at least gart_iommu_init is using number of pages as well. I haven't checked it does that intentionally, though.
Thanks!
