You can write a very simple module that kmalloc's a pci_dev, sets up 
some trivial values for the dev, and then calls pci_alloc_consistent.  
You will panic 100% of the time because  'dma_get_seg_boundary(dev) + 1' 
overflows an unsigned long.

Maybe I'm missing something -- what implies  size has to be a power of two?
