Russell King 459c1517f9 ARM: DMA: top-down allocation in DMA coherent region
Achieve better usage of the DMA coherent region by doing top-down
allocation rather than bottom up.  If we ask for a 128kB allocation,
this will be aligned to 128kB and satisfied from the very bottom
address.  If we then ask for a 600kB allocation, this will be aligned
to 1MB, and we will have a 896kB hole.

Performing top-down allocation resolves this by allocating the 128kB
at the very top, and then the 600kB can come in below it without any
unnecessary wastage.

This problem was reported by Janusz Krzysztofik, who had 2 x 128kB +
1 x 640kB allocations which wouldn't fit into 1MB.

/*
* VM region handling support.
*
* This should become something generic, handling VM region allocations for
* vmalloc and similar (ioremap, module space, etc).
*
* I envisage vmalloc()'s supporting vm_struct becoming:
*
* struct vm_struct {
* struct vmregion region;
* unsigned long flags;
* struct page **pages;
* unsigned int nr_pages;
* unsigned long phys_addr;
* };
*
* get_vm_area() would then call vmregion_alloc with an appropriate
* struct vmregion head (eg):
*
* struct vmregion vmalloc_head = {
* .vm_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT(vmalloc_head.vm_list),
* .vm_start = VMALLOC_START,
* .vm_end = VMALLOC_END,
* };
*
* However, vmalloc_head.vm_start is variable (typically, it is dependent on
* the amount of RAM found at boot time.) I would imagine that get_vm_area()
* would have to initialise this each time prior to calling vmregion_alloc().
