Subject: [PATCH 16/23] AMD IOMMU: avoid unnecessary low zone allocation in alloc_coherent

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@....ntt.co.jp>

x86's common alloc_coherent (dma_alloc_coherent in dma-mapping.h) sets
up the gfp flag according to the device dma_mask but AMD IOMMU doesn't
need it for devices that the IOMMU can do virtual mappings for. This
patch avoids unnecessary low zone allocation.
