include/linux/dma-mapping.h: add dma_zalloc_coherent()
Lots of driver code does a dma_alloc_coherent() and then zeroes out the memory with a memset. Make it easy for them. Cc: Alexandre Bounine <alexandre.bounine@idt.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
