Add a new dma_map_ops implementation that uses dma-direct for the address mapping of streaming mappings, and which requires arch-specific implemenations of coherent allocate/free. Architectures have to provide flushing helpers to ownership trasnfers to the device and/or CPU, and can provide optional implementations of the coherent mmap functionality, and the cache_flush routines for non-coherent long term allocations.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
