    x86: restore old GART alloc_coherent behavior · 1d990882
    FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
    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."

    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).
