[PATCH 0/1] alpha: enable DMA CMA support (HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS)

[Magnus Lindholm]

This series enables CONFIG_DMA_CMA support on Alpha by selecting
HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS and wiring up the required architecture hooks.

Alpha previously relied solely on high-order page allocator
allocations for coherent DMA buffers. With memory compaction now
functional, CMA can be safely enabled to provide reliable
physically contiguous allocations under fragmentation.

Testing was performed on an Alpha UP2000+ (SMP) and a DS10 (UP)
using a custom kernel module that verified the following:

  - Correct CMA reservation via "cma=64M"
  - CmaTotal/CmaFree reporting in /proc/meminfo
  - Successful 32 MiB dma_alloc_coherent() allocations
  - CmaFree reduction and recovery after free
  - Successful allocations under heavy memory load

No allocation failures were observed.
