Yeah, but another choice is using GFP_ATOMIC to allocate vmemmap
pages when we are in an atomic context. If not atomic context, just
use GFP_KERNEL. In this case, we can drop kworker.

Right. More questions are welcome.

Sorry, I did not realise that. Thanks for your reminder.

I prefer not to change the behavior of page_hstate(). So I
should use 'size_to_hstate(page_size(page))' directly.
Thanks Mike.
