[GIT PULL] DMA-mapping updates for v3.6

[Marek Szyprowski]

Hi Linus,

I would like to ask for pulling another set of DMA-mapping framework
updates for v3.6.

The following changes since commit 28a33cbc24e4256c143dce96c7d93bf423229f92:

  Linux 3.5 (2012-07-21 13:58:29 -0700)

with the top-most commit 97ef952a20853fad72087a53fa556fbec45edd8f

  ARM: dma-mapping: add support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping.git for-linus-for-3.6-rc1

Those patches are continuation of my earlier works merged in commits
58bca4a8fa90 and d484864dd96e1. They contains extensions to DMA-mapping
framework to remove limitation of the current ARM implementation (like
limited total size of DMA coherent/write combine buffers), improve
performance of buffer sharing between devices (attributes to skip cpu
cache operations or creation of additional kernel mapping for some
specific use cases) as well as some unification of the common code for
dma_mmap_attrs()/dma_mmap_coherent() functions. All extensions have been
implemented and tested for ARM architecture.

Thanks!
