we have to kmalloc() wait_table after this.
I don't think we always succeed to alloc multiple contiguous pages by kmalloc().
How about allocating wait_table like this ?
=
size = 4096; /* 4096 is maximum size */
while(size) {
	waittable = kmalloc(size * sizeof(wait_queue_head_t), GFP_KERNEL):
	if (wait_table)
		break;
	size = size >> 1;
}
zone->wait_table_size = size;
zone->wait_table_bits = wait_table_bits(zone->wait_table_size);
zone->wait_table = wait_table;
