...few macro arguments in 53c700 - pass the right device to the DMA API in the lib82596 drivers - fix memory ownershiptransfers in sgiseeq - better document what a page in the direct kernel mapping means - split into dma_alloc_pages that returns a struct page and is in the direct mapping vs dma_alloc_noncoherent that can be vmapped - conver the firewire ohci driver to dma_alloc_pages Diffstat:

...n-coherent DMA to pages with incurring bounce buffering over can finally be properly supported. I'm still a little unsure about the API naming, as alloc_pages sort of implies a struct page return value, but we return a kernel virtual address. The other alternative would be to name the API dma_alloc_noncoherent, but the whole non-coherent naming seems to put people off. As a follow up I plan to move the implementation of the DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING flag over to this framework as well, given that is also is a fundamentally non coherent allocation. The replacement for that flag would then return a stru...
