The arm64 codebase to implement coherent dma allocation for architectures with non-coherent DMA is a good start for a generic implementation, given that is uses the generic remap helpers, provides the atomic pool for allocations that can't sleep and still is realtively simple and well tested. Move it to kernel/dma and allow architectures to opt into it using a config symbol. Architectures just need to provide a new arch_dma_prep_coherent helper to writeback an invalidate the caches for any memory that gets remapped for uncached access.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
