Re: [patch] swiotlb: fix ignored DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN request

[Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de>]

To conclude to this snail like thread (/me=walking wounded), with the
v4.16.8 hunk below, traces showing that swiotlb_alloc_coherent() was
being asked to not bother warning started showing up after the box had
been flogged for a while.

Whatever finally happens with swiotlb (seems to be in flux), other
folks meeting annoying gripeage can find bandaids in the interim.
