Alan Cox 9d793b0bcb i2o: Fix 32/64bit DMA locking
The I2O ioctls assume 32bits.  In itself that is fine as they are old
cards and nobody uses 64bit.  However on LKML it was noted this
assumption is also made for allocated memory and is unsafe on 64bit
systems.

Fixing this is a mess.  It turns out there is tons of crap buried in a
header file that does racy 32/64bit filtering on the masks.

So we:
- Verify all callers of the racy code can sleep (i2o_dma_[re]alloc)
- Move the code into a new i2o/memory.c file
- Remove the gfp_mask argument so nobody can try and misuse the function
- Wrap a mutex around the problem area (a single mutex is easy to do and
  none of this is performance relevant)
- Switch the remaining problem kmalloc holdout to use i2o_dma_alloc
