Introduce new DMA mapping functions dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys() that operate directly on physical addresses instead of page+offset parameters. This provides a more efficient interface for drivers that already have physical addresses available. The new functions are implemented as the primary mapping layer, with the existing dma_map_page_attrs()/dma_map_resource() and dma_unmap_page_attrs()/dma_unmap_resource() functions converted to simple wrappers around the phys-based implementations. In case dma_map_page_attrs(), the struct page is converted to physical address with help of page_to_phys() function and dma_map_resource() provides physical address as is together with addition of DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute. The old page-based API is preserved in mapping.c to ensure that existing code won't be affected by changing EXPORT_SYMBOL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL variant for dma_*map_phys().

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 reStructuredText 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.
