You can still do GFP_KERNEL in the shrinker in that case, it would
simply be GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOGPU to make sure we don't get back into
our own shrinker when we allocate for shmem.
But it would probably break all kinds of assumptions about how this
works in core mm, plus since we aim to have most system memory used by
gpus it doesn't really help. That kinda of special GFP flag for gpus
has come up in the past though.
