The wrappers in include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h should go away.

The patch has been generated with the coccinelle script below and has been
hand modified to replace GFP_ with a correct flag.
It has been compile tested.

When memory is allocated in 'free_rx_resources()' and
'alloc_tx_resources()' (sge.c) GFP_KERNEL can be used because it is
already used in these functions.

Moreover, they can only be called from a .ndo_open	function. So it is
guarded by the 'rtnl_lock()', which is a mutex.

While at it, a pr_err message in 'init_one()' has been updated accordingly
(s/consistent/coherent).
