IA64: fix swiotlb alloc_coherent for non DMA_64BIT_MASK devices
Before the dma ops unification, IA64 always uses GFP_DMA for dma_alloc_coherent like: #define dma_alloc_coherent(dev, size, handle, gfp) \ platform_dma_alloc_coherent(dev, size, handle, (gfp) | GFP_DMA) This GFP_DMA enforcement doesn't make sense for IOMMUs since they can do address translation to give addresses that devices can access to. The IOMMU drivers ignore the zone flag. However, this is still necessary for swiotlb since it can't do address translation. We don't always need to use GFP_DMA for swiotlb. We need GFP_DMA for devices incapable of 64bit DMA.
