Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ehea: Allocate stats buffer with GFP_KERNEL
Date: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 2:59 pm

Since ehea_get_stats calls ehea_h_query_ehea_port, which
can sleep, we can also sleep when allocating a page in
this function. This fixes some memory allocation failure
warnings seen under low memory conditions.
