[PATCH 0/3] Add MEMREMAP_WC to fix dma_init_coherent_memory

Hi,

As discussed here[1], these patches implement a MEMREMAP_WC flag for
memremap(), which can be used to obtain writecombine mappings. This
is then used for setting up dma_coherent_mem regions which use the
DMA_MEMORY_MAP flag.

Patch 3 makes sure that the appropriate memset function is used
when zeroing coherent allocations, which fixes an alignment fault on
arm64.

Best Regards,
Brian
