There is apparently something amiss with the way the TTM code handles DMA buffers, which the above commit was attempting to work around for arm64 systems with non-coherent PCI. Unfortunately, this completely breaks systems *with* coherent PCI (which appear to be the majority).
Booting a plain arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_DRM + CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU on a machine with a PCI GPU having coherent dma_map_ops (in this case a 7600GT card plugged into an ARM Juno board) results in a fatal crash:

In a toss-up between the GPU seeing stale data artefacts on some systems vs. catastrophic kernel crashes on other systems, the latter would seem to take precedence, so revert this change until the real underlying problem can be fixed.

Alex, Ben, Dave,
I know Alex was looking into this, but since we're nearly at -rc6 already it looks like the only thing to do for 4.6 is pick the lesser of two evils...
Hi Robin,
Sorry for the delayed reply - I was offline last week.
You are right, so let's pick this patch for now.
