Add support for allocating physically contiguous DMA buffers on arm64
systems with an IOMMU. This can be useful when two or more devices
with different memory requirements are involved in buffer sharing.
Note that as this uses the CMA allocator, setting the
DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS attribute has a runtime-dependency on
CONFIG_DMA_CMA, just like on arm32.
For arm64 systems using swiotlb, no changes are needed to support the
allocation of physically contiguous DMA buffers:
- swiotlb always uses physically contiguous buffers (up to
IO_TLB_SEGSIZE = 128 pages),
- arm64's __dma_alloc_coherent() already calls
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() when CMA is available.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
