[PATCH 1/4] dma: define __dma_aligned attribute

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

Unlike the kernel, we always map barebox stack 1:1, so DMA to barebox
stack is ok if care is taken for alignment. Otherwise, cache maintenance
may end up clobbering data unintentionally.

Provide a __dma_aligned attribute for use in such situations and use the
already existing DMA_ALIGNMENT as alignment.

To be able to do that, we need to make sure that the default DMA_ALIGNMENT
is only defined when architectures don't define their own dma_alloc. If
they do, they are responsible to define their own DMA_ALIGNMENT as well.

The new attribute is intentionally not called __cacheline_aligned,
because it differs functionally: We care about the cache line size of
the outer cache, while in Linux __cacheline_aligned is for L1 cache.
A __dma_aligned wouldn't make sense for Linux as it would be too easy to
abuse (e.g. placing it on VMAP_STACK), but for barebox, we do this at
many places and an attribute would increase readability and even safety.
