Vitaly Andrianov 4009793e15 drivers: cma: represent physical addresses as phys_addr_t
This commit changes the CMA early initialization code to use phys_addr_t
for representing physical addresses instead of unsigned long.

Without this change, among other things, dma_declare_contiguous() simply
discards any memory regions whose address is not representable as unsigned
long.

This is a problem on 32-bit PAE machines where unsigned long is 32-bit
but physical address space is larger.

Marek Szyprowski c64be2bb1c drivers: add Contiguous Memory Allocator
The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA
mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks.

CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type
and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable
pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for
page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA
area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This
allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time
assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system.

This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.
