in_interrupt() should not be used in drivers, AFAIR.
Pass the correct flags from the caller (or don't -- it seems like 
the only caller assumes softirq context already).

GFP_DMA? Why?

No prints on allocation errors, please, it only adds stress to 
the system. You can add a statistic if you want.

EFAULT == "Bad address", doesn't sound right
