Vladimir Murzin 43fc509c3e dma-coherent: introduce interface for default DMA pool
Christoph noticed [1] that default DMA pool in current form overload
the DMA coherent infrastructure. In reply, Robin suggested [2] to
split the per-device vs. global pool interfaces, so allocation/release
from default DMA pool is driven by dma ops implementation.

This patch implements Robin's idea and provide interface to
allocate/release/mmap the default (aka global) DMA pool.

To make it clear that existing *_from_coherent routines work on
per-device pool rename them to *_from_dev_coherent.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
