cpu_addr = pci_alloc_consistent(pdev, size, &dma_handle);
where pdev is a struct pci_dev *. You should pass NULL for PCI like buses
where devices don't have struct pci_dev (like ISA, EISA). This may be
called in interrupt context.

You should use dma_alloc_coherent (see DMA-API.txt) for buses
where devices don't have struct pci_dev (like ISA, EISA).
This argument is needed because the DMA translations may be bus
specific (and often is private to the bus which the device is attached
