As the name indicates, debug_dma_alloc_coherent should give us consistent memory -- meaning that the CPU is allowed to access the memory while DMA is in progress, without worrying about caching effects (see Documentation/DMA-API.txt). So why should we get a warning when the CPU accesses this memory? Is this a regression in the DMA debug library?
