This is GFP_ATOMIC|___GFP_RECLAIMABLE high order request. So something
that the caller should tollerate to fail.

Why is pci_alloc_consistent doing an unconditional GFP_ATOMIC
allocation? atl1_setup_ring_resources already does GFP_KERNEL
allocation in the same function so this should be sleepable
context. I think we should either add pci_alloc_consistent_gfp if
there are no explicit reasons to not do so or you can workaround
that by opencoding it and using dma_alloc_coherent directly with
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_REPEAT. This doesn't guarantee a success though
because this is > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER but it would increase chances
considerably. Also a vmalloc fallback can be used then more safely.
