No.  __GFP_NOWARN (and gfp_t flags in general) are the wrong interface
for dma allocations and just cause problems.  I actually plan to
get rid of the gfp_t argument in dma_alloc_attrs sooner, and only
allow either GFP_KERNEL or GFP_DMA passed in dma_alloc_coherent.

The interface should be DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN.  __GFP_NOWARN in this
context was never documented, and just slipped in.
