I'm not sure this is entirely right.

Let's say the mask is 30 bits. You will return GFP_DMA32, which will
fail if you allocate something above 1G (which is legit for
ZONE_DMA32).

I think the logic should be:

if (mask < ZONE_DMA)
fail;
else if (mask < ZONE_DMA32)
use ZONE_DMA or fail if doesn't exist
else if (mask < top_of_ram)
use ZONE_DMA32 or fail if doesn't exist
else
use ZONE_NORMAL

Additionally, we want to fold-in the top-of-ram test such that we don't
fail the second case if the mask is 31-bits (smaller than ZONE_DMA32)
but top of ram is also small enough.

So the top of ram test should take precendence.

Cheers,
Ben.
