Cardbus WLAN on PPC32 DMA error 2.6.30+

[Jonathan Hudson]

On kernels later than the 2.6.29 series, on inserting a cardbus WLAN
card, I get DMA error messages (from 2.6.31.4)

For a rt2500pci:

[  176.881208] pci 0001:11:00.0: reg 10 32bit mmio: [0xffffe000-0xffffffff]
[  177.040993] rt2500pci 0001:11:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[  177.041019] rt2x00pci -> rt2x00pci_probe: Error - PCI DMA not supported.
[  177.041044] rt2500pci: probe of 0001:11:00.0 failed with error -5

For a Broadcom 4306:

(similar results with b43legacy).

Both these cards work with 2.6.29.6 and earlier. I don't have any
architectures other than PPC32 with cardbus to test the cards.

Any advice welcomed.
