The naming is horrible, though, and that whole "goal" parameter is senseless and ugly. It should just be a flag on whether we want DMA'able memory or not. That's what it _is_, it's just strangely implemented, making the code less readable. Since the patch changes all the users of that third parameter _anyway_, it should probably be fixed to just make the parameter sane instead.
