I think he means how to handle the following from include/linux/gfp.h in
valgrind:
struct page *alloc_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order);
unsigned long __get_free_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order);
void __free_pages(struct page *page, unsigned int order);
void free_pages(unsigned long addr, unsigned int order);
