Dear Christoph,

The kernel version of my patches against is Linux 4.16, the most of
modifications come from include/Linux/gfp.h. I think they should be
pushed to Linux-mm, so I follow the requirement of maintainers to make
patches based on mmotm/master.

I just checked the current mainline, yes,
(__GFP_DMA | __GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_DMA32) has been deleted, I can
rebase my patches to mainline, and resend them to mail list.

Sincerely,
Huaisheng Ye
