In order to call this function from a dma_map function, it must not sleep.
The only reason it does sleep so to allocate the seqbuf to print

Maybe the subject could say something about the purpose, e.g., allow
calling from atomic context or something? "Pass gfp_mask flags" sort
of restates what we can read from the patch, but without the
motivation of why this is useful.

Switch the kmalloc call to use a passed in gfp_mask and don't print that
message if the buffer fails to be allocated.
