Subject: Pull request: DMA pool updates

Hi Linus,

Could I ask you to pull the DMA Pool changes detailed below?

All the patches have been posted to linux-kernel before, and various
comments (and acks) have been taken into account.  (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/609943)

It's a fairly nice performance improvement, so would be good to get in.
It's survived a few hours of *mumble* high-stress database benchmark,
so I have high confidence in its stability.

The following changes since commit 21511abd0a248a3f225d3b611cfabb93124605a7:
  Linus Torvalds (1):
        Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/.../aegl/linux-2.6
