In the case of the sata_nv error, it appears this is happening now
because blk_queue_bounce_limit is initializing emergency ISA pools which
can't be done under spinlock. This is happening because the code in
blk_queue_bounce_limit now thinks that a 32-bit DMA mask requires
allocating with GFP_DMA. This is only needed for a DMA mask less than
32-bit, which is what the original code did. It looks like this was
broken by this commit:

Fix bounce setting for 64-bit
Not sure what this was intended to fix, but I don't think it's right..
