Subject: [PATCH] fix iwlagn DMA mapping direction

Backported from 6aa03ab06978e97b3e0720f83280d7841051916b in linux-2.6

When iwlan runs on IOMMU, IOMMU generates a lot of PTE write faults
because PTE write bit is not set on some of PTE's.  This is because
iwlan driver calls DMA mapping with PCI_DMA_TODEVICE which is read only
in mapping PTE.  But iwlan device actually writes to the mapped page to
update its contents.  This issue is not exposed in swiotlb.  But VT-d
hardware can capture this fault and stop the fault transaction.

The following patch fixes the issue.
