Ping.... a friendly reminder on this patch.

Thanks

This patch was originally posted by Ganapatrao in [1] *.

However, after initial review, it was never reposted (due to lack of
cycles, I think). In addition, the functionality in its sibling patches
were merged through patches, as mentioned in [2]; this also refers to a
discussion on device local allocations vs CPU local allocations for DMA
pool, and which is better [3].

However, as mentioned in [3], dma_alloc_coherent() uses the locality
information from the device - as in direct DMA - so this patch is just
applying this same policy.

add Ganapatrao's SOB without permission.
