One data point: when I see a
iwi0: could not allocate firmware DMA memory
I close memory hog programs one by one and ultimately iwi
manages to find memory. My guess is it needs contiguous
physical memory and normally memory gets very fragmented and
may be by killing enough programs somehow enough physmem is
found to be free? No idea if firmware loading can be made
smarter.
