	It should resolve the problem.

	I tried to test it, the system is going to panic, but I'm not sure the 
mb_reclaim() has been called. I inserted a printf just after 
NET_LOCK_GIANT() but never seen the text on console even the do_drain 
sysctl has been set to 1.

	Do you know a reliable way how to trigger vm_lowmem event ? I tried to 
allocate as much as possible memory, i tried to call EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE 
from kernel module, but it seems the mb_reclaim has not been invoked.
