Okay, so a warning should be there if allocation fails, independent of
what the allocation order is. So either this function prints a message
in case of allocation failure or we remove __GFP_NOWARN for all
allocation attempts.

Adding __GFP_NOWARN only makes sense when there is another fall-back in
case allocation fails anyway, which is not the case here.

Why does it specify __GFP_NORETRY at all? The alloc-routines in the
DMA-API don't need to be atomic.
