[PATCH] ARM: dma-mapping: Add maximum alignment order for dma iommu buffers

Alignment order for a dma iommu buffer is set by buffer size. For
large buffer, it is a waste of iommu address space. So configurable
parameter to limit maximum alignment order can reduce the waste.

+ DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
+ PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
+ size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
+ for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has
+ relatively small addressing window (like 64Mib) might run out of
+ virtual space with just a few allocations.
+
+ With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for
+ DMA IOMMU buffers. Larger buffers will be aligned only to this
+ specified order. The order is expressed as a power of two multiplied
+ by the PAGE_SIZE.
