Subject: [PATCH 0/3] net_dma removal and a new dma-debug check

NET_DMA violates the expectation of the dma-mapping api by allowing the
cpu to touch receive buffer memory while dma is active.  If this
activity triggers a copy-on-write event the application may see missing
data as the dma completes to the old mapping.

[PATCH 1/3] net_dma: mark broken
Detail the failure and provide a small one-liner for -stable

[PATCH 2/3] net_dma: remove
Mark the tcp_dma_copybreak sysctl as removed and remove the rest of the
implementation

[PATCH 3/3] dma debug: flag copy-on-write events to pages undergoing dma
Extend dma-debug to catch this condition in the future.

Looking to take this through the dmaengine tree with a netdev ack.
