Memory Allocation Controls
==========================
-Functions which need to allocate memory often use GFP flags to express
-how that memory should be allocated. The GFP acronym stands for "get
-free pages", the underlying memory allocation function. Not every GFP
-flag is allowed to every function which may allocate memory. Most
-users will want to use a plain ``GFP_KERNEL``.
