Richard reports that since 772dd03427 ("mm: enumerate all gfp flags"),
gfp-translate is broken, as the bit numbers are implicit, leaving the
shell script unable to extract them. Even more, some bits are now at a
variable location, making it double extra hard to parse using a simple
shell script.
Use a brute-force approach to the problem by generating a small C stub
that will use the enum to dump the interesting bits.
As an added bonus, we are now able to identify invalid bits for a given
configuration. As an added drawback, we cannot parse include files that
predate this change anymore. Tough luck.

The recent changes to gfp.h to satisfy sparse broke scripts/gfp-translate.
This patch fixes it up to work with old and new versions of gfp.h .

In particular, several occurances of funny versions of 'success',
'unknown', 'therefore', 'acknowledge', 'argument', 'achieve', 'address',
'beginning', 'desirable', 'separate' and 'necessary' are fixed.

The page allocation failure messages include a line that looks like
page allocation failure. order:1, mode:0x4020
The mode is easy to translate but irritating for the lazy and a bit error
prone. This patch adds a very simple helper script gfp-translate for the
mode: portion of the page allocation failure messages. An example usage
looks like
mel@machina:~/linux-2.6 $ scripts/gfp-translate 0x4020
Source: /home/mel/linux-2.6
Parsing: 0x4020
#define __GFP_HIGH (0x20) /* Should access emergency pools? */
#define __GFP_COMP (0x4000) /* Add compound page metadata */
The script is not a work of art but it has come in handy for me a few
times so I thought I would share.
