I don't think we should work around this in the driver, we need to fix

you throw in a few printks what failed? I.e. did dma_direct_supported
return false? Did the actual allocation fail?

I agree that that patch should not be sent upstream. I posted it only so that anyone running into the problem would have a work around.

I will try to see why your patch failed.
