While trying to compile the latest pull from
the lia64.bkbits.net:8080/linux-ia64-2.5
repository I hit the "you_cannot_kmalloc_that_much"
message in the final link.

The culprit is in

	drivers/usb/host/uhci-debug.c

which contains:

#define MAX_OUTPUT      (PAGE_SIZE * 16)

	...

	up->data = kmalloc(MAX_OUTPUT, GFP_KERNEL);

With the default 16k page size we are trying to
allocate 256K of memory, which is bigger that the
largest size pool in include/linux/kmalloc_sizes.h


Do we need a larger pool (I don't think so) or is
this allocation excessive?
