This restores the old swiotlb alloc_coherent behavior (before the alloc_coherent rewrite): http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/200 The old alloc_coherent avoids GFP_DMA allocation first and if the allocated address is not fit for the device's coherent_dma_mask, then dma_alloc_coherent does GFP_DMA allocation. If it fails, alloc_coherent calls swiotlb_alloc_coherent (in short, we rarely used swiotlb_alloc_coherent). After the alloc_coherent rewrite, dma_alloc_coherent (include/asm-x86/dma-mapping.h) directly calls swiotlb_alloc_coherent. It means that we possibly can't handle a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits since swiotlb_alloc_coherent doesn't have the above GFP_DMA retry mechanism. This patch fixes x86's swiotlb alloc_coherent to use the GFP_DMA retry mechanism, which dma_generic_alloc_coherent() provides now (pci-nommu.c and GART IOMMU driver also use dma_generic_alloc_coherent).
