Yeah, just drop it then. After digging through your kmem_zone stuffs, I
noticed you're using PF_FSTRANS in kmem_flags_convert() to detect GFP_NOFS
cases which makes conversion to slab proper very difficult anyway. Would
you accept patches to convert code under PF_FSTRANS to use KM_NOFS so we
can kill the check in kmem_flags_convert()?
