dma_alloc_init badness ??

[Demke, Torsten]

Hello all,

Im currently porting our application from 2.4.22 to 2.6.
CPU is MPC852T and the bootloader is u-boot.

The kernel boot prints a warning in dma_alloc_init,
but Im not sure what that exactly means, and how to solve
the problem:(
Can anybody here please give me some help?

Here is the output:
