[PATCH,resend] Fix strange panic message selection logic when swiotlbfills up

From: Casey Dahlin
Date: Thu Aug 20 2009 - 15:51:54 EST


swiotlb_full in lib/swiotlb.c throws one of two panic messages based on whether
the direction of transfer is from the device or to the device. The logic around
this is somewhat weird in the case of bidirectional transfers. It appears to
want to throw both in succession, but since its a panic only the first makes it.

This patch adds a third, separate error for DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL to make things a
bit clearer.
