This is the patch which allows pci_alloc_consistent (and consistent_alloc)

It's the required behavior according to Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt.

It looks okay.  But I don't see (immediatly) why the change to
pci_alloc_consistent was needed as well.  Can you (or Dan Malek, if
you're reading this..) explain?

But aside from that, it looks good and the next step would be to try and
get the generic changes into 2.5 (and the 2.4.20-pre1, 2.4.19 is more or
less frozen, esp for a change like this I suspect).
