It [
GFP_HIGH] is a trivial fix whereas backing
out this ability to callpci_alloc_consistentfrom interrupts is not a trivial change at all.
David, would you make a statement about pci_free_consistent. I find it annoying that it cannot be called from an interrupt.

It is not an unreasonable requirement. Wasn't there some problem with the pci pool stuff if it free'd up a chunk in an interrupt?
