Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] b44: Add DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN to dma_map_single attempts

The b44 family of fast ethernet chips have a hardware bug limiting
DMA to the low 30 bits of address space.  The driver implements its
own bouncing through ZONE_DMA if buffers are outside this range,
but not before the DMA layer tries the SWIOTLB driver for help.

The latter is designed only for helping devices with a 32-bit DMA
restriction, is not even initialized on machines with < 4GB of RAM,
and proceeds to spam the log with:

b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 66 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 72 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 401 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
swiotlb_tbl_map_single: 7 callbacks suppressed
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 90 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 74 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 74 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 74 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 66 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)
b44 0000:02:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 426 bytes), total 0 (slots), used 0 (slots)

DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN on the first (non-ZONE_DMA) attempt turns off this
repeated complaint.

There still is a remaining bug: kernel/dma/direct.c:report_addr() throws
a WARN_ON_ONCE the first time this happens.  I'm less certain how to fix
that, but it's less annoying.

This is the only substantive patch in the series.  The other three are
relatively minor issues that I ran into while studying the surrounding
code.  (Although #3/4 actually fixes a resource leak.)
