Fix the description of the parameters to dma_sync_sg*. They should be the
same as the parameters to dma_map_sg(), not dma_map_single().

Streaming DMA mapping involving an IOMMU may be much slower for larger
total mapping size. This is because every IOMMU DMA mapping requires an
IOVA to be allocated and freed. IOVA sizes above a certain limit are not
cached, which can have a big impact on DMA mapping performance.
Provide an API for device drivers to know this "optimal" limit, such that
they may try to produce mapping which don't exceed it.

The :doc:`foo` tag is auto-generated via automarkup.py.
So, use the filename at the sources, instead of :doc:`foo`.

Add a new API that returns a potentiall virtually non-contigous sg_table
and a DMA address. This API is only properly implemented for dma-iommu
and will simply return a contigious chunk as a fallback.
The intent is that drivers can use this API if either:
- no kernel mapping or only temporary kernel mappings are required.
That is as a better replacement for DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING
- a kernel mapping is required for cached and DMA mapped pages, but
the driver also needs the pages to e.g. map them to userspace.
In that sense it is a replacement for some aspects of the recently
removed and never fully implemented DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT

Add a helper to map memory allocated using dma_alloc_pages into
a user address space, similar to the dma_alloc_attrs function for
coherent allocations.

It turns out allowing non-contigous allocations here was a rather bad
idea, as we'll now need to define ways to get the pages for mmaping
or dma_buf sharing. Revert this change and stick to the original
concept. A different API for the use case of non-contigous allocations
will be added back later.

Document the new dma_alloc_pages and dma_free_pages APIs, and fix
up the documentation for dma_alloc_noncoherent and dma_free_noncoherent.

Add a new API to allocate and free memory that is guaranteed to be
addressable by a device, but which potentially is not cache coherent
for DMA.
To transfer ownership to and from the device, the existing streaming
DMA API calls dma_sync_single_for_device and dma_sync_single_for_cpu
must be used.
For now the new calls are implemented on top of dma_alloc_attrs just
like the old-noncoherent API, but once all drivers are switched to
the new API it will be replaced with a better working implementation
that is available on all architectures.

dma_declare_coherent_memory should not be in a DMA API guide aimed
at driver writers (that is consumers of the API). Move it to a comment
near the function instead.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:
- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs
- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)
- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"
