Merge branch 'for-linus-for-3.6-rc1' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping

Pull DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
 "Those patches are continuation of my earlier work.

  They contains extensions to DMA-mapping framework to remove limitation
  of the current ARM implementation (like limited total size of DMA
  coherent/write combine buffers), improve performance of buffer sharing
  between devices (attributes to skip cpu cache operations or creation
  of additional kernel mapping for some specific use cases) as well as
  some unification of the common code for dma_mmap_attrs() and
  dma_mmap_coherent() functions.  All extensions have been implemented
  and tested for ARM architecture."

+ * sg_alloc_table_from_pages - Allocate and initialize an sg table from
+ *			       an array of pages
+ * @sgt:	The sg table header to use
+ * @pages:	Pointer to an array of page pointers
+ * @n_pages:	Number of pages in the pages array

+ * @size:       Number of valid bytes in the buffer (after offset)

+ *  Description:
+ *    Allocate and initialize an sg table from a list of pages. Contiguous
+ *    ranges of the pages are squashed into a single scatterlist node. A user
+ *    may provide an offset at a start and a size of valid data in a buffer
+ *    specified by the page array. The returned sg table is released by
+ *    sg_free_table.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ *   0 on success, negative error on failure
