Provide DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING and DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attributes to the DMA API during the mapping operations on Rx side. With this change the non-x86 platforms will be able to sync only with what is being used (2k buffer) instead of entire page. This should yield a slight performance improvement. Furthermore, DMA unmap may destroy the changes that were made to the buffer by CPU when platform is not a x86 one. DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute usage fixes this issue. Also add a sync_single_for_device call during the Rx buffer assignment, to make sure that the cache lines are cleared before device attempting to write to the buffer.

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.
