Subject: [PATCH] x86: avoid unnecessary low zone allocation in AMD IOMMU's
 alloc_coherent

This is for tip/iommu.

btw, Joery, what happens if map_sg (or map_single) gets
not-DMA-capable buffer in the case of !iommu || !domain?

Subject: [PATCH] x86: avoid unnecessary low zone allocation in AMD IOMMU's alloc_coherent

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.
