aacraid code passes GFP_DMA32 to kmalloc this will not work

Hi All,

Since I made the same mistake myself I've done a quick grep for
GFP_DMA32 in the kernel and drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c
came up as a result of this grep, it does:

                                p = kmalloc(sg_count[i], GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA32);

But kmalloc always returns memory from the normal memory-zone,
if you need memory from a specific memory-zone like the
DMA32 zone, you must use the dma allocation functions (which
from a quick glance at the code seems appropriate here) or
directly call alloc_page or __get_free_page.

Regards,

Hans
