As far as I can tell, the changes that we still need are mostly in the
ARM specific portion of the series. All architectures that have cache
coherent DMA by default (most of the other interesting ones) can just
call dma_alloc_from_contiguous() from their dma_alloc_coherent()
function without having to do extra work.
It's possible that there will be small changes to simplify to the
first six patches in order to simplify the ARM port, but I expect
them to stay basically as they are, unless someone complains about
them.
