mempool are generally used for GFP_NOIO, so this wont benefit all that much because might_alloc currently only checks GFP_NOFS. But it does validate against mmu notifier pte zapping, some might catch some drivers doing really silly things, plus it's a bit more meaningful in what we're checking for here.
