Hence the alternative allocator to use on tight memory conditions.

If transferred to your implementation, then just steal some pages from
SLAB when new network device is added and use them when OOM happens.
It is much simpler and can help in the most of situations.

And just to make things clear - I do not insult your implementation 
in any way, it can be 100% correct and behave perfectly.
I'm just saying that there are other methods to solve the problem which
seems to me more appropriate.
