b43: Relax requirement for descriptors to be in the DMA zone
When 64-bit DMA was first used, there were problems with the BCM4311 (14e4:4311). The problem was "fixed" by using the GFP_DMA flag in the allocation of coherent ring descriptor memory. The original problem is now believed to have been due to bugs in the 64-bit DMA implementation in the rest of the kernel, and that those bugs have been fixed. Accordingly, the requirement for the descriptors to be in the DMA zone is relaxed. Bounce buffers are left in the DMA zone.
