It still introduces a fair amount of fragmentation - but you can argue
that we should be allocating enough single pages for it not to matter.
At some point, I am going to notice the hole and wonder what insanity
lies within. ;-)

However, just dropping the patch isn't quite enough, we need the
'prefer top-down allocations for !mappable' as well to move it out of
the aperture. But that is a patch for another time.
