Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: DMA-API-HOWTO.txt: rename
 ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was renamed to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (the commit
a6eb9fe105d5de0053b261148cee56c94b4720ca).

ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be defined instead of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to
ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe.
