It's quite sad that this uses GFP_ATOMIC.  Because GFP_ATOMIC is quite
unreliable.

Is it just not possible to use GFP_KERNEL here? 

If _any_ of the callers of this function could have used GFP_KERNEL then we
could at least pass the gfp_t into this function to allow it to use the
stronger form where it can do so.
