Add a new API to allocate and free memory that is guaranteed to be
addressable by a device, but which potentially is not cache coherent
for DMA.To transfer ownership to and from the device, the existing streaming
DMA API calls dma_sync_single_for_device and dma_sync_single_for_cpu
must be used.For now the new calls are implemented on top of dma_alloc_attrs just
like the old-noncoherent API, but once all drivers are switched to
the new API it will be replaced with a better working implementation
that is available on all architectures.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

dma_declare_coherent_memory should not be in a DMA API guide aimed
at driver writers (that is consumers of the API). Move it to a comment
near the function instead.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"
