Subject: [PATCH] tpm: ibmvtpm: Make use of dma_alloc_coherent()

Replacing kmalloc/kfree/get_zeroed_page/free_page/dma_map_single/
dma_unmap_single() with dma_alloc_coherent/dma_free_coherent()
helps to reduce code size, and simplify the code, and coherent
DMA will not clear the cache every time.

If this does not do functionally anything useful, there's no
reason to apply this.

It is also missing information why the substitution is possible.

Field tested code is better than clean code, i.e. we don not
risk at having possible new regressions just for a bit nicer
layout...

At least in this case it looks like the ibmvtpm is not using the DMA
API properly. There is no sync after each data transfer. Replacing
this wrong usage with the coherent API is reasonable.

Thank you. As long as this is documented to the commit message,
I'm cool with the change itself.

E.g. something like this would be perfectly fine replacement for the
current commit message:

"The current usage pattern for the DMA API is inappropriate, as
data transfers are not synced. Replace the existing DMA code
with the coherent DMA API."

Why not also say that the DMA access snoop the cache?
(I think that was mentioned earlier in the thread.)
