Marek Szyprowski 64d70fe5d3 common: DMA-mapping: add NON-CONSISTENT attribute
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT lets the platform to choose to return either
consistent or non-consistent memory as it sees fit.  By using this API,
you are guaranteeing to the platform that you have all the correct and
necessary sync points for this memory in the driver.

Marek Szyprowski 8a4134322b common: DMA-mapping: add WRITE_COMBINE attribute
DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE specifies that writes to the mapping may be
buffered to improve performance. It will be used by the replacement for
ARM/ARV32 specific dma_alloc_writecombine() function.

Mark Nelson 1ed6af7344 powerpc/cell: Add DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING dma attribute and use in Cell IOMMU code
Introduce a new dma attriblue DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING to use weak ordering
on DMA mappings in the Cell processor. Add the code to the Cell's IOMMU
implementation to use this code.

Dynamic mappings can be weakly or strongly ordered on an individual basis
but the fixed mapping has to be either completely strong or completely weak.
This is currently decided by a kernel boot option (pass iommu_fixed=weak
for a weakly ordered fixed linear mapping, strongly ordered is the default).
