Elaborate please.  Do you think that all drivers should be updated to
fix the broken blockdev semantics, making NETIF_F_MEMALLOC redundant?
If so, I trust you will help audit for it?

I think he's saying that he doesn't think your code is yet a
reasonable way to solve the problem, and therefore doesn't belong
upstream.

Pretty much.  It is completely non-sensical to add NETIF_F_MEMALLOC, 
when it should be blindingly obvious that every net driver will be 
allocating memory, and every net driver could potentially be used with 
NBD and similar situations.
