This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for x86
architecture that uses common pci-dma/pci-nommu implementation. This
allows to test CMA on KVM/QEMU and a lot of common x86 boxes.

I don't think it's compilable at all for x86_64, because that platform
selects SWIOTLB.

After a while I got it to compile for i386.  arm didn't go so well,
partly because arm allmodconfig is presently horked (something to do
with Kconfig not setting PHYS_OFFSET) and partly because arm defconfig
doesn't permit CMA to be set.  Got bored, gave up.

The patchset collides pretty seriously with pending dma api changes and
pending arm changes in linux-next, so I didn't apply anything.  This
will all need to be looked at, please.

I'll make do with reading the patches for now ;)
