dom0 oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x1d

[Ted Kaczmarek <tedkaz@optonline.net>]

I had the dom0 which unfortunately didn't have a console on it hit a
race condition and saw oom errors on it also. This happened after it was
running for over 36 hours with a domU whose load average was avg was
around 3 most of the time.

changeset:   7396:9b51e7637676

Dom0 - UP i686, Centos 4.1, 768 megs

domU-1 92 megs snmpd
domU-2 92 megs snmpdd
domU-3 410 megs postgres, tomcat 5.5, opennms head on java 5

Got this from syslog
