Andi, this can't be right.

You're removing something that's actually useful.  I'm happy to
substitute this kmalloc for kmalloc_mask on the device dma mask which
will do the same thing and so junk unchecked_isa_dma() that way (and
actually fix us up for other weird mask devices), but just using
ZONE_NORMAL is wrong because we'll then bounce all the time for
something we knew a priori how to avoid.
