[19/39] e100: Use pci pool to work around GFP_ATOMIC order 5 memory allocation failure

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Roger Oksanen <roger.oksanen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 98468efddb101f8a29af974101c17ba513b07be1 upstream.

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.
