zfsonlinux/spl@2092cf68d8 used PF_MEMALLOC to workaround a bug in the Linux kernel where allocations did not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc(). Unfortunately, PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting allocations to allocate pages outside of ZONE_NORMAL. This has been observed to result in the depletion of ZONE_DMA32. A kernel patch is available in the Gentoo bug tracker for this issue. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685 This negates any benefit PF_MEMALLOC provides, so we introduce an autotools check to disable the use of PF_MEMALLOC on systems with patched kernels.
