Subject[PATCH 0/4] ARM: replace custom consistent dma region with vmalloc
Hi!

Recent changes to ioremap and unification of vmalloc regions on ARM
significantly reduces the possible size of the consistent dma region and
limited allowed dma coherent/writecombine allocations.

This experimental patch series replaces custom consistent dma regions
usage in dma-mapping framework in favour of generic vmalloc areas
created on demand for each coherent and writecombine allocations.

This patch is based on vanilla v3.4-rc2 release.

Best regards

Patch summary:

Marek Szyprowski (4):
mm: vmalloc: use const void * for caller argument
mm: vmalloc: export find_vm_area() function
mm: vmalloc: add VM_DMA flag to indicate areas used by dma-mapping
framework
ARM: remove consistent dma region and use common vmalloc range for
dma allocations
