Here is the corresponding PA-RISC piece. Its as straightforward as the other one since the only way to make this work properly in the past was if the sizes passed to the dma alloc functions are page size based.
PA-RISC: Use page allocator instead of slab allocator. Slab pages obtained via kmalloc are not cachline aligned. Nor is it advisable to perform VM operations designed for page allocator pages on memory obtained via kmalloc. So replace the page sized allocations in kernel/pci-dma.c with page allocator pages.
