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.

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.
