commit edc0378eee00200a5bedf1bb9f00ad390e0d1bd4 upstream. There are some Loongson64 systems come with broken coherent DMA support, firmware will set a bit in boot_param and pass nocoherentio in cmdline. However nonconherent support was missed out when spin off Loongson-2EF form Loongson64, and that boot_param change never made itself into upstream. Support DMA noncoherent properly to get those systems working.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
