Nope, but there is always such possibility that the driver calls dma_mmap_*() and
lets user space to access the memory allocated for dma.

In fact, this one is not really needed here. I've copied it from arch/arm/mm/ioremap.c and then replaced
search loop with find_vm_area(). Now I see that find_vm_area() uses internal locks in find_vmap_area(),
so the global vmlist_lock is not needed here.

Right, I will rename it to nr_pages as it is much better name.

I want to reduce memory waste. This atomic_pool is very rarely used (non-atomic allocations don't use
this pool, kernel mappings are created on fly for them). The original consistent dma size on ARM was
set to 2MiB, but it covered both atomic and non-atomic allocations. Some time ago (in the context of
CMA/Contiguous Memory Allocator in Cambourne during Linaro MM meeting) we have discussed the idea of
pool for the atomic allocations and the conclusion was that the 1/8 of the original consistent dma
size is probably more than enough. This value can be adjusted later if really needed or set with
kernel boot parameter for some rare systems that needs more.
