* This function allocates a new struct iucv_tty_buffer element and, optionally,
* allocates an internal data buffer with the specified size @size.
+ * The internal data buffer is always allocated with GFP_DMA which is

* Note: The total message size arises from the internal buffer size and the
* members of the iucv_tty_msg structure.
* The function returns NULL if memory allocation has failed.
