Hi, I got boot trouble on x86_64.

I'm now trying recent mmtom tree but megaraid_sas get "page allocation failure"
at megasas_probe_one() in boot because of __GFP_DMA.

It seems dma_alloc_xxx patch set (in linux-next) changes the logic of pci_alloc_consistent().

For quick workaround, I'm now using this patch.

This patch just tries to make use of usual pages before using __GFP_DMA.
(But I don't think this is a correct patch. )

new dma_alloc_coherent() seems to drop almost all logics used in
old /arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c::dma_alloc_coherent().

Thanks,
-Kame
