[PATCH] [v2] ARM: sa1100/assabet: move dmabounce hack to ohci driver

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

The sa1111 platform is one of the two remaining users of the old Arm
specific "dmabounce" code, which is an earlier implementation of the
generic swiotlb.

Linus Walleij submitted a patch that removes dmabounce support from
the ixp4xx, and I had a look at the other user, which is the sa1111
companion chip.

Looking at how dmabounce is used, I could narrow it down to one driver
one three machines:

 - dmabounce is only initialized on assabet/neponset, jornada720 and
   badge4, which are the platforms that have an sa1111 and support
   DMA on it.

 - All three of these suffer from "erratum #7" that requires only
   doing DMA to half the memory sections based on one of the address
   lines, in addition, the neponset also can't DMA to the RAM that
   is connected to sa1111 itself.

 - the pxa lubbock machine also has sa1111, but does not support DMA
   on it and does not set dmabounce.

 - only the OHCI and audio devices on sa1111 support DMA, but as
   there is no audio driver for this hardware, only OHCI remains.

In the OHCI code, I noticed that two other platforms already have
a local bounce buffer support in the form of the "local_mem"
allocator. Specifically, TMIO and SM501 use this on a few other ARM
boards with 16KB or 128KB of local SRAM that can be accessed from the
OHCI and from the CPU.

While this is not the same problem as on sa1111, I could not find a
reason why we can't re-use the existing implementation but replace the
physical SRAM address mapping with a locally allocated DMA buffer.

There are two main downsides:

 - rather than using a dynamically sized pool, this buffer needs
   to be allocated at probe time using a fixed size. Without
   having any idea of what it should be, I picked a size of
   64KB, which is between what the other two OHCI front-ends use
   in their SRAM. If anyone has a better idea what that size
   is reasonable, this can be trivially changed.

 - Previously, only USB transfers to unaddressable memory needed
   to go through the bounce buffer, now all of them do, which may
   impact runtime performance for USB endpoints that do a lot of
   transfers.

On the upside, the local_mem support uses write-combining buffers,
which should be a bit faster for transfers to the device compared to
normal uncached coherent memory as used in dmabounce.

Changes in v2:

 - drop check for assabet, as bounce buffers are required on
   all sa1100 machines
 - select CONFIG_ZONE_DMA again
 - update comments and changelog text based on discussion
