          x86: make GART to respect device's dma_mask about virtual mappings
      
      I wrote the above commit to fix a GART alloc_coherent regression, that
      can't handle a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits, introduced by
      the alloc_coherent rewrite:
      
        http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/200
      
      After the alloc_coherent rewrite, GART alloc_coherent tried to
      allocate pages with GFP_DMA32. If GART got an address that a device
      can't access to, GART mapped the address to a virtual I/O address. But
      GART mapping mechanism didn't take account of dma mask, so GART could
      use a virtual I/O address that the device can't access to again.
      
      Alan pointed out:
      
      " This is indeed a specific problem found with things like older
        AACRAID where control blocks must be below 31bits and the GART
        is above 0x80000000. "
      
      The above commit modified GART mapping mechanism to take care of dma
      mask. 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 means it's possible that GART doesn't have virtual I/O address
      space that a device can access to. The above commit (to modify GART
      mapping mechanism to take care of dma mask) can't fix the regression
      reliably so let's avoid making GART more complicated.
      
      We need a solution that always works for dma_masks > 24bit <
      32bits. That's how GART worked before the alloc_coherent rewrite.

      x86: export pci-nommu's alloc_coherent · 9f6ac577
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      This patch exports nommu_alloc_coherent (renamed
      dma_generic_alloc_coherent). GART needs this function.
