Well, I cannot comment on why MMC needs such a large allocation and
whether it can safely fall back to vmalloc but __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
might help to try harder and require compaction to do more work.
Relying on that for correctness is, of course, a different story and
a very unreliable under memory pressure or long term fragmented memory.
