Add an option to allocate uncached memory for dma_alloc_coherent from the global dma_coherent_default_memory. This will allow to move arm-nommu (and eventually other platforms) to use generic code for allocating uncached memory from a pre-populated pool. Note that this is a different pool from the one that platforms that can remap at runtime use for GFP_ATOMIC allocations for now, although there might be opportunities to eventually end up with a common codebase for the two use cases.

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.
