Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] enhance DMA CMA on x86 

This patch set enhances the DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator on x86.

Currently the DMA CMA is only supported with pci-nommu dma_map_ops
and furthermore it can't be enabled on x86_64.  But I would like to
allocate big contiguous memory with dma_alloc_coherent() and tell it
to the device that requires it, regardless of which dma mapping
implementation is actually used in the system.

So this makes it work with swiotlb and intel-iommu dma_map_ops, too.
And this also extends "cma=" kernel parameter to specify placement
constraint by the physical address range of memory allocations.  For
example, CMA allocates memory below 4GB by "cma=64M@...G", it is
required for the devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit
systems without iommu.

* Changes from v2
- Rebased on current Linus tree
- Add Acked-by line
- Fix gfp flags check for __GFP_ATOMIC, reported by Marek Szyprowski
- Avoid CMA area on highmem with cma= option, reported by Marek Szyprowski

* Changes from v1
- fix dma_alloc_coherent() with __GFP_ZERO
- add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter

Akinobu Mita (5):
  x86: make dma_alloc_coherent() return zeroed memory if CMA is enabled
  x86: enable DMA CMA with swiotlb
  intel-iommu: integrate DMA CMA
  memblock: introduce memblock_alloc_range()
  cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter
