The PCI pool API is deprecated. This commit replaces the PCI pool old
API by the appropriate function with the DMA pool API.

My only concern is:
- what hardware did this get tested with?  Since this affects all e100
parts, it would be hard to believe that all the affected hardware was
used in testing.

This was tested by compilation only(See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/8/661). However this series removes macro
definitions of the old pci_pool interface and replace call sites by what
the macra was calling.

Here are the macros that this series removes from include/pci.h:

#define pci_pool dma_pool
#define pci_pool_create(name, pdev, size, align, allocation) \
	dma_pool_create(name, &pdev->dev, size, align, allocation)
#define pci_pool_destroy(pool) dma_pool_destroy(pool)
#define pci_pool_alloc(pool, flags, handle) dma_pool_alloc(pool, flags, handle)
#define pci_pool_zalloc(pool, flags, handle) \
	dma_pool_zalloc(pool, flags, handle)
#define pci_pool_free(pool, vaddr, addr) dma_pool_free(pool, vaddr, add

So this should not affect run time.

We cannot test a patch like this one on all affected platforms/drivers
(at runtime). Simply because we have not the hw. As Peter said, we
tested this by compilation only for now via make allyesconfig. That's up
to the maintainer of the subsystem to test and ack this, imho.
I agree with Peter, this should not affect runtime (as semantically it's
compatible and have been validated statically and semantically by your
compiler)

Romain
