[PATCH 1/6] mm: add coherence API for DMA to vmalloc/vmap areas

[James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>]

From: James Bottomley <jejb@external.hp.com>

On Virtually Indexed architectures (which don't do automatic alias
resolution in their caches), we have to flush via the correct
virtual address to prepare pages for DMA.  On some architectures
(like arm) we cannot prevent the CPU from doing data movein along
the alias (and thus giving stale read data), so we not only have to
introduce a flush API to push dirty cache lines out, but also an invalidate
API to kill inconsistent cache lines that may have moved in before
DMA changed the data
