No, it should be PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_IOAT_SNB (0x402f) for the dma
engine at 00:0f.0 .  PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ESB2_0 is the LPC controller at
00:1f.0,

It should always trigger, and I have verified as much with the attached
replacement patch (by forcing the error on a working system), but we run
into a new problem.  dma_pool_alloc() assumes that any dma_mapping error
is transient.  Do we need a new type of dma_mapping_error() that
indicates permanent failure versus ENOMEM?  The driver can handle the
allocation failure, but it never gets the chance.
