Ok, I'll write some dummies for usb_malloc() and usb_zalloc() which will just call kmalloc() with GFP_DMA32 for now. And while at it, usb_alloc_buffer() will be renamed to usb_alloc_consistent(). Then I'll try to clean up all existing drivers to use this new interface and follow the changes.
In a next step, we should fine-tune when GFP_DMA32 is really needed. And I'll leave all occurances of usb_alloc_consistent() as they are now.
Does that sound ok?
Yes, that should work out well.
