[PATCH v3 5/5] cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Tue Apr 15 2014 - 09:10:26 EST


Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located. We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.

Examples:
1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate. So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().
