Subject: reserving skbuffs for the drivers

I'm getting dropped rx packets because the network
driver cannot allocate an skbuf in time, evidently....

I have 256MB of RAM, is there some way to increase the amount of RAM
that the kernel keeps around for GFP_ATOMIC allocations?

Documentation I find talks about buffermem and freepages, which looks
hopeful, but they appear to no longer be in the proc file system as
tunables???
