The problem is that this is not necessarily PCI related on other platforms.
My cross platform SCSI driver, 53c700.c, uses pci_alloc_consistent because it
has to work on parisc archs as well (which do have consistent memory even
though a few of them don't have PCI busses). It was failing a test compile.
I can manipulate the #ifdefs so that it doesn't use the consistent allocation
functions on x86, but I think, in principle, cross platform drivers should be
able to use these functions.

Yes, please. If you look at a lot of the non-x86 arch drivers, some of them
also use pci_alloc_consistent. I think the only other x86 example I can come
up with is aic7xxx_old which also supports the 7770 chip which is used for
SCSI in the intel xpress motherboard (pure EISA).
