Hmm, you need a gfp_t arg into alloc_buf; your last patch simply changed
them all to GFP_ATOMIC, which makes the console far less memory
friendly.

You check !irqs_disabled() in a couple of places; I think the caller
needs to indicate (possibly by checking for gfp == GFP_KERNEL) whether
it's safe to call reclaim_dma_bufs().

Why not? ;)

Thanks,
Rusty.
