Because Andrew has made it pretty clear he will not take those patches on the

biasing to allow memory hot-remove of the higher addresses makes them even
more complex.
What is the e1000 problem? Jumbo packet allocation via GFP_KERNEL?
Yes. Potentially the anti-fragmentation patches could address this by
clustering atomic allocations together as much as possible.
