Shawn Anastasio b4fc36e60f powerpc/dma: Fix invalid DMA mmap behavior
The refactor of powerpc DMA functions in commit 6666cc17d7
("powerpc/dma: remove dma_nommu_mmap_coherent") incorrectly
changes the way DMA mappings are handled on powerpc.
Since this change, all mapped pages are marked as cache-inhibited
through the default implementation of arch_dma_mmap_pgprot.
This differs from the previous behavior of only marking pages
in noncoherent mappings as cache-inhibited and has resulted in
sporadic system crashes in certain hardware configurations and
workloads (see Bugzilla).

This commit restores the previous correct behavior by providing
an implementation of arch_dma_mmap_pgprot that only marks
pages in noncoherent mappings as cache-inhibited. As this behavior
should be universal for all powerpc platforms a new file,
dma-generic.c, was created to store it.

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.
