I have a different idea.
How about removing fallback allocation in bootmem.c completely?
I don't know why it is there exactly.
But, warning for 'slab_is_available()' is there for a long time.
So, most people who misuse fallback allocation change their code adequately.
I think that removing fallback at this time is valid. Isn't it?
if you guys really want to make thing simple, please do try to help to kill
mm/bootmem.c and use memblock instead.

at last we could the wrapper mm/nobootmem.c.

Thanks
