[RFC PATCH] ARM: dma: default ZONE_DMA to y if ARM_LPAE

On systems running with LPAE enabled, DMA masters capable only of 32-bit
addressing require ZONE_DMA to be set. Given the proliferation of such
masters, and the tendency to re-use existing system IP with newer
processors, this patch defaults ZONE_DMA to y if ARM_LPAE, rather than
force each SoC to select it individually.
