I'm still not 100% sure where this page gets allocated but AFAICT it is
allocated in ixgbe_alloc_mapped_page() which calls dev_alloc_pages() for the
allocation which is where the GFP_ATOMIC is specified.

I think I would add this detail here.

That said, and assuming my analysis is correct, the code looks fine so:
