I thought the final agreement was that these should be GFP_NOIO?

Could you not do this?  The GFP_KERNEL will spit might sleep warnings on
certain configs and the try_module_get could cause an oops on removal.
Either of these might confuse a bisection search if it accidentally
landed in them.  In general, for unapplied patches with identified bugs,
the patches should be fixed before applying.

Thanks,

James
