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).
