Hi,

I just added an NFS mount to a ppc64 box that had been up for a while.
This required inserting the nfsd module. Unfortunately it failed:  

modprobe: page allocation failure. order:5, mode:0xd0
Trace:

nfsd: cannot allocate 98304 bytes for reply cache

An order 5 allocation. Replace it with a vmalloc.
