hi all:
Recently we bumped into the same issue like below path:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-November/031810.html

We have some question about this patch:
a. Under what circumstances, there will be memory returned by
dma_alloc_coherent and friends mapped as normal, cacheable mappings?

b. why "with CMA enabled, it should be safe not to set this bit."

Sincerely appreciate your kind help,
