Series [1/6] dma-mapping: remove the {alloc,free}_noncoherent methods | expand

From: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org>

On architectures where the is no coherent caching such as ARM use the
dma_alloc_noncontiguos API and handle manually the cache flushing using
dma_sync_sgtable().

With this patch on the affected architectures we can measure up to 20x
performance improvement in uvc_video_copy_data_work().

Eg: aarch64 with an external usb camera

I just included this patch as-is, but here are a few comments:

Given that we vmap the addresses this also needs
flush_kernel_vmap_range / invalidate_kernel_vmap_range calls for
VIVT architectures.

Maybe DMA_FROM_DEVICE instead of DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL ?

We only read from the device to the cpu. Then can we run only
invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() ?

something like ?
else {
          dma_sync_sgtable_for_cpu(dma_dev, uvc_urb->sgt, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
           invalidate_kernel_vmap_range(uvc_urb->buffer,
uvc_urb->stream->urb_size );
}

Thanks!

Yes.  Right now we don't have a proper state machine for the
*_kernel_vmap_range, but we should probably add one once usage of this
grows.  Until then I need to respin my API patch to document how callers
need to use *_kernel_vmap_range, as well as adding the so far missing
dma-debug support.

As we're getting toward the end of the merge window I'll try to get this
done ASAP.

How should we plan to merge this code?  Do you have a tree you'd like
to pick up the whole thing for?  Or should I create a dma-mapping
