I have intentionally skipped alloc_bitmap because it relies on GFP_NOFS.
This doesn't work properly when falling back to vmalloc and that is what
the warning reported here says. I believe the right approach is to check
whether the GFP_NOFS is _really_ needed and document why if yes.
Otherwise drop the NOFS part in one patch with the explanation and
convert it to kvmalloc in a separate patch.
