Subject: [PATCH v2] iommu/vt-d: add NUMA awareness to intel_alloc_coherent()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Some devices (like mlx4) try hard to allocate memory on selected
NUMA node, but it turns out intel_alloc_coherent() is not NUMA
aware yet.

Note that dma_generic_alloc_coherent() in arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c
gets this right.

v2: no fallback to alloc_pages(), this is not needed and might even
hurt in OOM cases.
