Title:
  .hpacucli: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x40d0

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On two identical physical machines ProLiant BL460c G7, with Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS,  kernel 3.2.0-83-generic we frequently detect errors (warnings?) with .hpacuci binary, which is using HPSA driver.
  Here is the output from dmesg log :

  [6411414.874986] 572828 pages non-shared

  As we can see, there is lots of free RAM and each mem zone has at
  least one bloc of size 64kB available (.hpacucli reclaims 16 pages) so
  it doesn't seem to be related to memory fragmentation.

  Thanks :)
