Use the UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT type to properly handle mmap for dma_alloc_coherent buffers. The cnic l2_ring and l2_buf mmaps have caused page refcount issues as the dma_alloc_coherent no longer provide __GFP_COMP allocation as per commit "dma-mapping: reject __GFP_COMP in dma_alloc_attrs". Fix this by having the uio device use dma_mmap_coherent. The bnx2 and bnx2x status block allocations are also dma_alloc_coherent, and should use dma_mmap_coherent. They don't allocate multiple pages, but this interface does not work correctly with an iommu enabled unless dma_mmap_coherent is used.

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.
