I asked Ingo to remove it from his tree to avoid merge conflicts with
updates I am currently preparing. Here is the patch I queued into my
2.6.28 update chain.

x86: avoid unnecessary low zone allocation in AMD IOMMU's alloc_coherent

x86's common alloc_coherent (dma_alloc_coherent in dma-mapping.h) sets
up the gfp flag according to the device dma_mask but AMD IOMMU doesn't
need it for devices that the IOMMU can do virtual mappings for. This
patch avoids unnecessary low zone allocation.
