All the way back to introducing dma_common_mmap we've defaulted to mark
the pages as uncached. But this is wrong for DMA coherent devices.
Later on DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE also got incorrect treatment as that
flag is only treated special on the alloc side for non-coherent devices.
Introduce a new dma_pgprot helper that deals with the check for coherent
devices so that only the remapping cases ever reach arch_dma_mmap_pgprot
and we thus ensure no aliasing of page attributes happens, which makes
the powerpc version of arch_dma_mmap_pgprot obsolete and simplifies the
remaining ones.
Note that this means arch_dma_mmap_pgprot is a bit misnamed now, but
we'll phase it out soon.

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.
