Please refer to the post here

These changes are to introduce barrierless dma_map_area and dma_unmap_area and
use them to map the buffers in the scatterlist. For the last buffer, call
the normal dma_map_area(aka with barriers) effectively executing the barrier
at the end of the operation.

Note that the barrierless operations are implemented for few arm
architectures only and I would implement for others once these are okayed by the
community.

Abhijeet Dharmapurikar (2):
  dma: define barrierless versions of map and unmap area
  dma: fix scatter-gather api to use barrierless map/unmap functions
