IOMMU should be able to use single pages as well as bigger blocks, so if
higher order allocations fail, we should not affect state of the system,
with events such as OOM killer, but rather fall back to order 0
allocations.
This patch changes the behavior of ARM IOMMU DMA allocator to use
__GFP_NORETRY, which bypasses OOM invocation, for orders higher than
zero and, only if that fails, fall back to normal order 0 allocation
which might invoke OOM killer.

I think down the code in this while loop, i & count is being
calculated based on the "order" of allocation in the current
iteration.
Since value of order will be automatically 0 here if (!pages[i]) is
true then, why hard code order to value of 0 here.
Comment clearly says what this code is doing right?
I know it is just a minor thing. Don't know if it is relevant.

Gcc is smart enough to know that order == 0 here, the code generation on
arm will be the same, so this is only a matter of how the source looks.
To me, it doesn't make a lot of sense to write it as alloc_pages(gfp,
order) when order is always equal to 0. I think it's clearer the way that
Tomasz wrote it.
