You made me look ;-) Actually not touching my drivers so I'm off the hook. 
However, I was wondering if drivers could know so I decided to look into 
the DMA-API.txt documentation which currently states:

"""
The flag parameter (dma_alloc_coherent() only) allows the caller to
specify the ``GFP_`` flags (see kmalloc()) for the allocation (the
implementation may choose to ignore flags that affect the location of
the returned memory, like GFP_DMA).

I do expect you are going to change that description as well now that you 
are going to issue a warning on __GFP_COMP. Maybe include that in patch 
15/16 where you introduce that warning.

Yes, that description needs an updated, even without this series.
I'll make sure it is more clear.
