For direct DMA, if the size is small enough to have originated from a
kmalloc() cache below ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, check its alignment against
dma_get_cache_alignment() and bounce if necessary. For larger sizes, it
is the responsibility of the DMA API caller to ensure proper alignment.
At this point, the kmalloc() caches are properly aligned but this will
change in a subsequent patch.
Architectures can opt in by selecting ARCH_WANT_KMALLOC_DMA_BOUNCE.
