Another approach...

I set out to target the 2GB limit workaround to only affect the emu10k1,
and at the same time make some placeholders for code to create an
additional 31bit DMA region. Then I spent hours trying to set the right
kernel configuration for my system.... and gave up.

This patch is against Linus's git branch and probably doesn't work, but
is useful to bookmark some of the places where changes have to be made.
I'm going to do a more simple test tomorrow with the source of my
current kernel (3.5.0-15.22) to see if this can be worked out. In the
mean time, if anyone has time to kill I'd love to know if this even
compiles.

** Patch added: "Creates a faux 31bit DMA area to allocate for the emu10k1 only"
