Subject: [PATCH v2 01/15] dma-mapping: add
 __dma_from_device_group_begin()/end()

When a structure contains a buffer that DMA writes to alongside fields
that the CPU writes to, cache line sharing between the DMA buffer and
CPU-written fields can cause data corruption on non-cache-coherent
platforms.

Add __dma_from_device_group_begin()/end() annotations to ensure proper
alignment to prevent this:

struct my_device {
	spinlock_t lock1;
	__dma_from_device_group_begin();
	char dma_buffer1[16];
	char dma_buffer2[16];
	__dma_from_device_group_end();
	spinlock_t lock2;
};
