Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] IOMMU support: __direct_remap_pfn_range() fails
See include/asm-xen/asm-i386/agp.h

/* GATT allocation. Returns/accepts GATT kernel virtual address. */
#define alloc_gatt_pages(order) ({
\
        char *_t; dma_addr_t _d;
\
        _t = dma_alloc_coherent(NULL,PAGE_SIZE<<(order),&_d,GFP_KERNEL);
\
        _t; })
#define free_gatt_pages(table, order)   \
 
dma_free_coherent(NULL,PAGE_SIZE<<(order),(table),virt_to_bus(table)) 

There may be other changes in the file too.
