This is more logic to keep xfs functioning when memory is in short 
supply. It is still possible to push xfs into an oops if you try
hard enough, but you have to do some really silly things now.

linux/fs/pagebuf/page_buf.c - 1.92
        - Fix the retry logic for failing to allocate a page, there was supposed
          to be a retry, but it was not quite there. On failure to allocate a 
page
          pagebuf will now start a flush of the delayed write metadata - which
          can free pages for reuse, pause, and retry.

linux/fs/xfs_support/kmem.c - 1.10
        - Remove some of the logic from the memory allocation retry logic, the
          underlying mechanisms are already doing this for us.
