x86: restore old GART alloc_coherent behavior

Browse source 
Currently, GART alloc_coherent tries to allocate pages with GFP_DMA32
for a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits. If GART gets an
address that a device can't access to, GART try to map the address to
a virtual I/O address that the device can access to.

But Andi pointed out, "The GART is somewhere in the 4GB range so you
cannot use it to map anything < 4GB. Also GART is pretty small."

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/12/43

That is, it's possible that GART doesn't have virtual I/O address
space that a device can access to. The above behavior doesn't work for
a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits.

This patch restores old GART alloc_coherent behavior (before the
alloc_coherent rewrite).
