Subject: [PATCHv4 0/2] ARM: replace custom consistent dma region with vmalloc

Hello!

This quick update on the patchset which replaces custom consistent dma
regions usage in dma-mapping framework in favour of generic vmalloc
areas created on demand for each allocation. The main purpose for this
patchset is to remove 2MiB limit of dma coherent/writecombine
allocations.

In this version arch-independent VM_DMA flag has been replaced with
ARM-specific VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag.

This patch is based on vanilla v3.5-rc4 release.

Best regards

Changelog:

v4:
- replaced arch-independent VM_DMA flag with ARM-specific
  VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag

v3: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/80028/
- rebased onto v3.4-rc2: added support for IOMMU-aware implementation 
  of dma-mapping calls, unified with CMA coherent dma pool
- implemented changes requested by Minchan Kim: added more checks for
  vmarea->flags & VM_DMA, renamed some variables, removed obsole locks,
  squashed find_vm_area() exporting patch into the main redesign patch 

v2: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/78563
- added support for atomic allocations (served from preallocated pool)
- minor cleanup here and there
- rebased onto v3.4-rc7

v1: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/76703
- initial version
