Thanks for doing this - it certainly makes things more correct, even
if the original problem has been resolved by the troublesome GFP_DMA
commit having been reverted.  As such I think this patch series should
still be applied.

I think the series should be re-ordered so that patch 5 is first however,
as you can do that with or without the remainder of the patches.

For the entire series:
