[v4 0/4] ARM: dma-mapping: IOMMU atomic allocation

Hi,

The commit e9da6e9 "ARM: dma-mapping: remove custom consistent dma
region" breaks the compatibility with existing drivers. This causes
the following kernel oops(*1). That driver has called dma_pool_alloc()
to allocate memory from the interrupt context, and it hits
BUG_ON(in_interrpt()) in "get_vm_area_caller()". This patch seris
fixes this problem with making use of the pre-allocate atomic memory
pool which DMA is using in the same way as DMA does now.

Any comment would be really appreciated.

v4:
Fix plain memory allocation. (Konrad,Marek)
Print nicer error message at __in_atomic_pool() (Konrad)
v3:
Provide a different path for IOMMU for more clean code. (Marek)
atomic_pool is backed with struct page *pages[].

v2:
Don't modify attrs(DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING) for atomic allocation. (Marek)
Modify vzalloc (KyongHo,Minchan)
