3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schae...@de.ibm.com>

commit 5457e03de918f7a3e294eb9d26a608ab8a579976 upstream.

The buffer for iucv_message_receive() needs to be below 2 GB. In
__iucv_message_receive(), the buffer address is casted to an u32, which
would result in either memory corruption or an addressing exception when
using addresses >= 2 GB.

Fix this by using GFP_DMA for the buffer allocation.
