MIPS: HIGHMEM DMA on noncoherent MIPS32 processors
[v4: Patch applies to linux-queue.git with kmap_atomic patches: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/189932/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/194552/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/189912/ ] The MIPS DMA coherency functions do not work properly (i.e. kernel oops) when HIGHMEM pages are passed in as arguments. Use kmap_atomic() to temporarily map high pages for cache maintenance operations. Tested on a 2.6.36-rc7 1GB HIGHMEM SMP no-alias system.
