        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT)
                might_sleep();
   
   and might_sleep() should be updated.
   
   Anybody want to try that and see whether things break horribly?

I hadn't considered this, good idea.  I'm trying this out right now.

Someone should backport the might_sleep() stuff to 2.4.x, it's very
useful.
