Introduce new alloc/free/mmap methods that take attributes argument.
alloc/free_coherent can be implemented on top of the new alloc/free
calls with NULL attributes. dma_alloc_non_coherent can be implemented
using DMA_ATTR_NONCOHERENT attribute, dma_alloc_writecombine can also
use separate DMA_ATTR_WRITECOMBINE attribute. This way the drivers will
get more generic, platform independent way of allocating dma memory
buffers with specific parameters.
One more attribute can be usefull: DMA_ATTR_NOKERNELVADDR. Buffers with
such attribute will not have valid kernel virtual address. They might be
usefull for drivers that only exports the DMA buffers to userspace (like
for example V4L2 or ALSA).
mmap method is introduced to let the drivers create a user space mapping
for a DMA buffer in generic, architecture independent way.
