Linus Torvalds af7ddd8a62 DMA mapping updates for Linux 4.21
A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
 removing code:
 
  - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
    calls for dma_map_* error checking
  - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
    retpoline overhead for high performance workloads
  - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct
  - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for architectures
    that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache coherent. Based
    on the existing arm64 implementation and also used for csky now.
  - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
    of entries (Robin Murphy)
  - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
    for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
    can't cope with it
  - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups
  - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
    replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure
  - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)
  - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
    common code (Robin Murphy)
  - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel data
    leaks through userspace.  We already did this for most common
    architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
    dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
    removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script.
