With this change I now have a kernel build with make -j triggering
the oom handler and killing processes rather than killing the machine
by panicing in the XFS memory allocation path.

Modid:  2.4.x-xfs:slinx:97686a
linux/fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c - 1.94
        - Fix a problem with the buffer flags we pass into pagebuf. We were 
being
          too restrictive in the flag settings. The meaning of BUF_BUSY in linux
          and Irix is different in this case, we do not want to use BUF_BUSY in
          the non-transactional case.
