There have been some vmalloc layout changes merged to v3.3-rc1.
That was dead-on, thanks a lot!
Did you managed to fix this issue?
I did then bump into a different allocation failure which happened
because dma_alloc_from_contiguous() computes 'mask' before capping the
'align' argument.

The early 'mask' computation was added in v18 (and therefore exists in
v19 too) and I was actually testing v17 previously, so I didn't notice
it before.
Right, thanks for spotting it, I will squash it to the next release.

You may want to squash something like this:
