It's virtually guaranteed to have problems with order 2 allocations.
Two pages at a time can be found, but not four. Actually, statistically,
they should be available, in the tail of the curve, so to speak. But
the stock VM in 2.6 is not sufficiently persistent to keep trying.
RHEL 3 has special code which repeats allocations of 4 pages indefinitely
and guess what, I do get reports of hung processes of s390 where top page
table directories are 4 pages in size.
