Please help with kernel BUG at include/linux/gfp.h:80 with ndiswrapperon x86_64

With kernel 2.6.15-rc5, gfp_zone has the following BUG_ON:

static inline int gfp_zone(gfp_t gfp)
{
        int zone = GFP_ZONEMASK & (__force int) gfp;
        BUG_ON(zone >= GFP_ZONETYPES);
        return zone;
}

This is being tripped by ndiswrapper on x86_64 when it calls:

dma_alloc_coherent(&pci_dev->dev,size,dma_handle, \
                           GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT | GFP_DMA)

because dma_alloc_coherent does:

        dma_mask = dev->coherent_dma_mask;
        if (dma_mask == 0)
                dma_mask = 0xffffffff;

        /* Kludge to make it bug-to-bug compatible with i386. i386
           uses the normal dma_mask for alloc_coherent. */
        dma_mask &= *dev->dma_mask;

        /* Why <=? Even when the mask is smaller than 4GB it is often larger
           than 16MB and in this case we have a chance of finding
fitting memory
           in the next higher zone first. If not retry with true
GFP_DMA. -AK */
        if (dma_mask <= 0xffffffff)
                gfp |= GFP_DMA32;

again:
        memory = dma_alloc_pages(dev, gfp, get_order(size));


so it appears that gfp becomes GFP_DMA | GFP_DMA32 = 5 and triggers the BUG.

So, what should ndiswrapper be using in it's call to dma_alloc_coherent?
 GFP_DMA32?

Thanks!
