It applies for me.  MIME getting you down?

Subject: memblock, bootmem: restore goal for alloc_low

Now we have memblock_virt_alloc_low to replace original bootmem api
in swiotlb.

But we should not use BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT for arch that does not support
CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM, as old api take 0.

| #define alloc_bootmem_low(x) \
|        __alloc_bootmem_low(x, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, 0)
|#define alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic(x) \
|        __alloc_bootmem_low_nopanic(x, PAGE_SIZE, 0)

and we have
 #define BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
for CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM.

Restore goal to 0 to fix ia64 crash, that Tony found.
