Change memory region to ohci "middle address space". This effectively reduces the number of packets by 50%. [Stefan R.:] This eliminates 1394 ack packets and improved throughput by a few percent in some tests with an S400a connection with and without gap count optimization. Since firewire-net taxes the AR-req DMA unit of a FireWire controller much more than firewire-sbp2 (which uses the middle address space with PCI posted writes too), this commit also changes a related error printk into a ratelimited one as a precaution. Side note: The IPv4-over-1394 drivers of Mac OS X 10.4, Windows XP SP3, and the Thesycon 1394 bus driver for Windows all use the middle address space too.
