Same goes for devices that can't allocate from the entire normal zone.
Limit to DMA32 in that case.

Per the bot report this only works for CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, however the whole concept looks wrong anyway. The logic here is that we're only forcing a particular zone if there's *no* chance of the higher zone being usable. For example, ignoring offsets for simplicity, if we have a 40-bit DMA mask then we *do* want to initially try allocating from ZONE_NORMAL even if max_pfn is above 40 bits, since we still might get a usable allocation from between 32 and 40 bits, and if we don't, then we'll fall back to retrying from the DMA zone(s) anyway.

I'm not sure if the rest of the series functionally depends on this change, but I think it would be too needlessly restrictive in the general case to be justified.

Thanks,
Robin.
