i have i queued up in x86/urgent, see below.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix dma_mapping_error for 32bit x86
Devices like b44 ethernet can't dma from addresses above 1GB. The driver
handles this cases by falling back to GFP_DMA allocation. But for detecting
the problem it needs to get an indication from dma_mapping_error.
The bug is triggered by using a VMSPLIT option of 2G/2G.
