Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dmaengine: ioat: Decreasing  allocation chunk size 2M -> 512K

From: Leonid Ravich <Leonid.Ravich@....com>

current IOAT driver using big (2MB) allocations chunk for its descriptors
therefore each ioat dma engine need 2 such chunks
(64k entres in ring  each entry 64B = 4MB)
requiring 2 * 2M * dmaengine contiguies memory chunk
might fail due to memory fragmention.

so we decresging chunk size and using more chunks.
