Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: avoid unnecessary low zone allocation in Calgary'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 Calgary doesn't
need it because of virtual mappings. This patch avoids unnecessary low
zone allocation.
