This is really unexpected. You are saying this is a regular i386 and DMA
should be bottom 16MB while yours is 780MB and the rest of the low mem
is in the Normal zone which is completely missing here. How have you got
to that configuration? I have to say I haven't seen anything like that
on i386.
The failing request is GFP_USER so highmem is not really allowed but
free pages are way above watermarks so the allocation should have just
succeeded.
