I've played a bit longer with this and found that reading the kernel 
virtual address of the buffers allocated via dma_alloc_attrs() from 
dma-iommu ops gives trashes from time to time. It took me a while to 
debug this...

Your conversion misses adding arch_dma_prep_coherent() to arch/arm, so 
the buffers are cleared by the mm allocator, but the caches are NOT 
flushed for the newly allocated buffers.

This fixes the issue:

I also wonder if it would be better to use per-arch __dma_clear_buffer() 
instead of setting __GFP_ZERO unconditionally in dma-iommu.c. This 
should be faster on ARM with highmem...
