It seems weird to make slab.h responsible for this part, especially for
#define ARCH_HAS_DMA_MINALIGN, which dma-mapping.h consumes. Maybe it would
be difficult to do differently due to some dependency hell, but minimally I
don't see dma-mapping.h including slab.h so the result is
include-order-dependent? Maybe it's included transitively, but then it's
fragile and would be better to do explicitly?
True, there's a risk that it doesn't get included with some future
header refactoring.

What about moving ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to linux/cache.h? Alternatively, I
could create a new linux/dma-minalign.h file but I feel since this is
about caches, having it in cache.h makes more sense. asm/cache.h is also
where most archs define the constant (apart from mips, sh, microblaze).
