I've got no idea, will poke Ben to see if they know the answer to this

You'll have to excuse me for a moment since this area of nouveau isn't one of
my strongpoints, but are we sure about this? IIRC __GFP_NOFAIL means infinite
retry, in the case of a GPU hotplug event I would assume we would rather just
stop trying to migrate things to the GPU and just drop the data instead of
hanging on infinite retries.
