Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

We change recently the memalloc helper to use dma_alloc_noncontiguous() and the fallback to get_pages(). Although lots of issues with IOMMU (or non-IOMMU) have been addressed, but there seems still a regression on Xen PV. Interestingly, the only proper way to work is use dma_alloc_coherent(). The use of dma_alloc_coherent() for SG buffer was dropped as it's problematic on IOMMU systems. OTOH, Xen PV has a different way, and it's fine to use the dma_alloc_coherent(). This patch is a workaround for Xen PV. It consists of the following changes: - For Xen PV, use only the fallback allocation without dma_alloc_noncontiguous() - In the fallback allocation, use dma_alloc_coherent(); the DMA address from dma_alloc_coherent() is returned in get_addr ops - The DMA addresses are stored in an array; the first entry stores the number of allocated pages in lower bits, which are referred at releasing pages again Reported-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com> Tested-by: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com> Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
