This is a correct conversion of the driver, but I'd prefer to keep this separate
from the pci-dma-compat series.

The code looks a bit suspicous, both the old and the new version. If the device
ends up on a bus that can only do 32-bit DMA, shouldn't it remember this and
make sure it only does GFP_DMA32 allocations for buffers that are passed to
the device?
