This partially reverts the DMA API support that was recently merged because it was causing performance regressions on older Tegra devices. Unfortunately, the cache maintenance performed by dma_map_sg() and dma_unmap_sg() causes performance to drop by a factor of 10. The right solution for this would be to cache mappings for buffers per consumer device, but that's a bit involved. Instead, we simply revert to the old behaviour of sharing IOVA mappings when we know that devices can do so (i.e. they share the same IOMMU domain).

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.
