[PATCH] e100: Use pci pool to work around GFP_ATOMIC order 5 memory allocation failure

From: Roger Oksanen
Date: Thu Nov 26 2009 - 09:50:01 EST


e100: Use pci pool to work around GFP_ATOMIC order 5 memory allocation failure.

pci_alloc_consistent uses GFP_ATOMIC allocation that may fail on some systems
with limited memory (Bug #14265). pci_pool_alloc allows waiting with
GFP_KERNEL.
