[PATCH 1/3] ARM: DMA-Mapping: add function for setting coherent pool size from platform code

Some platforms might require to increase atomic coherent pool to make
sure that their device will be able to allocate all their buffers from
atomic context. This function can be also used to decrease atomic
coherent pool size if coherent allocations are not used for the given
sub-platform.
