ARM: NOMMU: Introduce dma operations for noMMU
R/M classes of cpus can have memory covered by MPU which in turn might configure RAM as Normal i.e. bufferable and cacheable. It breaks dma_alloc_coherent() and friends, since data can stuck in caches now or be buffered. This patch factors out DMA support for NOMMU configuration into separate entity which provides dedicated dma_ops. We have to handle there several cases: - configurations with MMU/MPU setup - configurations without MMU/MPU setup - special case for M-class, since caches and MPU there are optional In general we rely on default DMA area for coherent allocations or/and per-device memory reserves suitable for coherent DMA, so if such regions are set coherent allocations go from there. In case MMU/MPU was not setup we fallback to normal page allocator for DMA memory allocation. In case we run M-class cpus, for configuration without cache support (like Cortex-M3/M4) dma operations are forced to be coherent and wired with dma-noop (such decision is made based on cacheid global variable); however, if caches are detected there and no DMA coherent region is given (either default or per-device), dma is disallowed even MPU is not set - it is because M-class implement system memory map which defines part of address space as Normal memory.
