Subject: [PATCH V5 2/3] mm: dmapool: Align to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN in non-coherent DMA mode

In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to
maintain I/O coherency, so the dmapool objects should be aligned to
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. Otherwise, it will cause data corruption, at least
on MIPS:

	Step 1, dma_map_single
	Step 2, cache_invalidate (no writeback)
	Step 3, dma_from_device
	Step 4, dma_unmap_single

If a DMA buffer and a kernel structure share a same cache line, and if
the kernel structure has dirty data, cache_invalidate (no writeback)
will cause data lost.
