This patchset introduces an approach to eliminate the direct calls to follow_page and to the low level cache APIs. The patchset works by caching the page information while memory is mapped, and then using that information later when needed instead of calling follow_page. The low level cache API is then replaced by standard DMA API. Changes from v2: * Fix rebase error that plagued the v2 series * Added some debug logs to help analyzing missing mapping issues Notes: 1. The global bridge device struct is used by adding an 'extern' to proc. This issue should be handled in a different patch series (the struct should not be global. instead, it should be accessible to the dspbridge code via one of the context objects. This way we will also be able to transform pr_* prints to dev_* prints). 2. The patchset was tested with testsuite, DMM sample app and varios MM and recovery scenarios.
