In RING mode the ringacc does not access the ring memory. In this access mode the ringacc coherency does not have meaning. If the ring is configured in RING mode, then the ringacc itself will not access to the ring memory. Only the requester (user) of the ring is going to read/write to the memory. Extend the ring configuration parameters with a device pointer to be used for DMA API when the ring is configured in RING mode. Extending the ring configuration struct will allow per ring selection of device to be used for allocation, thus allowing per ring coherency. To avoid regression, fall back to use the ringacc dev in case the alloc_dev is not provided.

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.
