[PATCH] meye driver update
* replace the pci_alloc_consistent calls with dma_alloc_coherent because we want to do the allocations at GFP_KERNEL priority and not GFP_ATOMIC because we request quite a bit of memory and the allocation fails quite frequently. It would be better to have a pci_alloc_consistent with an extra parameter (priority) but since we haven't, and the meye driver is supposed to work only on ix86 platforms we can safely do the change. * fix the DMA engine stop request. The hard freezes encountered when using this driver and repeatedly opening/closing the device have been tracked down to this particular piece of code. The new version seems to work way better, I haven't had a single freeze since the change. * fix the irq handler prototype (irqreturn_t changes).
