... which is not really correct I think. See the comment above 
set_dma_reserve(). It's called dma_reserve because it involves the first 
zone -- where many unfreeable allocations like the kernel image end up.

Memory is not reserved for dma purposes ... and the zone name should be 
sufficient.

You're right. I will drop this line of change.
