[PATCH 1/3] dma: add dma_flags_set/get_*() interfaces

[akepner@sgi.com]

Introduce the dma_flags_set/get_*() interfaces and give them 
default implementations. 

Architectures which allow DMA to be reordered between a device and 
host memory (within a NUMA interconnect) can redefine these to allow 
a driver to explicitly synchronize DMA from the device when necessary.

Andrew, this is the first in a series of three patches:

  [1/3] dma: add dma_flags_set/get_*() interfaces
  [2/3] dma: redefine dma_flags_set/get_*() for sn-ia64
  [3/3] dma: document dma_flags_set/get_*()

Variants of these patches have been discussed on several 
occasions, most recently in a thread beginning:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119137949604365&w=2

Please consider this for 2.6.24.

Jes, Tony, please note that I added an explicit test for 
CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN2 in asm-ia64/sn/io.h (Yuck). This is 
needed for IA64_GENERIC to build, since there's at least one 
driver (qla1280) that includes asm-ia64/sn/io.h for 
CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC.
