You can write a very simple module that kmalloc's a pci_dev, sets up
some trivial values for the dev, and then calls pci_alloc_consistent.
You will panic 100% of the time because 'dma_get_seg_boundary(dev) + 1'
overflows an unsigned long.

Maybe I'm missing something -- what implies size has to be a power of two?

P.
