Actually, a quick grep gives the following...

arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/dma.c:731:	dma_pool = dma_pool_create("DMA-LLI", NULL, sizeof(struct pl080s_lli), 16, 0);
drivers/usb/gadget/amd5536udc.c:3136:	dev->data_requests = dma_pool_create("data_requests", NULL,
drivers/usb/gadget/amd5536udc.c:3148:	dev->stp_requests = dma_pool_create("setup requests", NULL,
drivers/net/wan/ixp4xx_hss.c:973:		if (!(dma_pool = dma_pool_create(DRV_NAME, NULL,
drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ixp4xx_eth.c:1106:		if (!(dma_pool = dma_pool_create(DRV_NAME, NULL,
