1e467e68e5 Documentation updates for 4.2
The main thing here is Ingo's big subdirectory documenting feature support
 for each architecture.  Beyond that, it's the usual pile of fixes, tweaks,
 and small additions.

3a9ad0b4fd PCI: Add pci_bus_addr_t
David Ahern reported that d63e2e1f3d ("sparc/PCI: Clip bridge windows
to fit in upstream windows") fails to boot on sparc/T5-8:

  pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 0x184: can't handle BAR above 4GB (bus address 0x110204000)

The problem is that sparc64 assumed that dma_addr_t only needed to hold DMA
addresses, i.e., bus addresses returned via the DMA API (dma_map_single(),
etc.), while the PCI core assumed dma_addr_t could hold *any* bus address,
including raw BAR values.  On sparc64, all DMA addresses fit in 32 bits, so
dma_addr_t is a 32-bit type.  However, BAR values can be 64 bits wide, so
they don't fit in a dma_addr_t.  d63e2e1f3d added new checking that
tripped over this mismatch.

Add pci_bus_addr_t, which is wide enough to hold any PCI bus address,
including both raw BAR values and DMA addresses.  This will be 64 bits
on 64-bit platforms and on platforms with a 64-bit dma_addr_t.  Then
dma_addr_t only needs to be wide enough to hold addresses from the DMA API.

[bhelgaas: changelog, bugzilla, Kconfig to ensure pci_bus_addr_t is at
least as wide as dma_addr_t, documentation]

77f2ea2f8d DMA-API: Clarify physical/bus address distinction
The DMA-API documentation sometimes refers to "physical addresses" when it
really means "bus addresses."  Sometimes these are identical, but they may
be different if the bridge leading to the bus performs address translation.
Update the documentation to use "bus address" when appropriate.

Also, consistently capitalize "DMA", use parens with function names, use
dev_printk() in examples, and reword a few sections for clarity.

No functional change; documentation changes only.

4aa806b771 DMA-API: provide a helper to set both DMA and coherent DMA masks
Provide a helper to set both the DMA and coherent DMA masks to the
same value - this avoids duplicated code in a number of drivers,
sometimes with buggy error handling, and also allows us identify
which drivers do things differently.

mapping error checks after dma_map_single() and
dma_map_page() calls. Also added usage examples that include
unmap examples in error paths when dma mapping error is
returned.  Includes correct and incorrect usages to high

dma mapping fails when more than one dma mapping call is
