[PATCH 4/5] drm/omap: use __GFP_DMA32 for shmem-backed gem

Hi Tomi

Any chance you could give this a spin on an omap device? It shouldn't
affect any 32bit devices, so this is mostly a cosmetic change.
However, I'd really like to get rid of that 'TODO' item. So a
"Tested-by:" would be really nice.

Thanks
David
