This is an attempt to allocate 12 MB of coherent memory.  As far as I 
can tell, the WARNING refers to invalid bits set in the gfp_mask.

However the original allocation comes from usbdev_mmap() in 
drivers/usb/core/devio.c:

	mem = usb_alloc_coherent(ps->dev, size, GFP_USER, &dma_handle);

I don't see how that ends up causing the WARNING.
