ARM: dma-mapping: Add maximum alignment order for dma iommu buffers

Commit Message

Seung-Woo Kim Feb. 6, 2013, 2:06 a.m. UTC

Alignment order for a dma iommu buffer is set by buffer size. For
large buffer, it is a waste of iommu address space. So configurable
parameter to limit maximum alignment order can reduce the waste.

+	  DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
+	  PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
+	  size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
+	  for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has
+	  relatively small addressing window (like 64Mib) might run out of
+	  virtual space with just a few allocations.
+
+	  With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for
+	  DMA IOMMU buffers. Larger buffers will be aligned only to this
+	  specified order. The order is expressed as a power of two multiplied
+	  by the PAGE_SIZE.
