Sorry about that. My fault! I have completely missed that VM_BUG_ON. I was double checking that GFP_DMA|__GFP_HIGHMEM works as inteded which is the case because DMA has always a preference. I have reached the same conclusion for GFP_DMA32 but now that I am looking at the GFP_ZONE_TABLE again I was wrong because we would end up in ZONE_DMA AFAICS because bit 1 wouldn't be set.
