Make sure that a vmalloc(80000) will succeed, even if few pages need to be swapped out. Otherwise, some scripts using iptables will die while they where okay before ? I am not sure how GFP_NORETRY really works among different linux kernels. Maybe this flag has no effect for order-0 allocations anyway.
