[PATCH v2 0/8] dma-debug cleanup and dynamic allocation

[Robin Murphy]

Hi all,

Here's some assorted cleanup and improvements to dma-debug which grew
out of the problem that certain drivers use very large numbers of DMA
mappings, and knowing when to override "dma_debug_entries=..." and what
value to override it with can be a less-than-obvious task for users.

The main part is patches #3 and #4, wherein we make dma-debug clever
enough to allocate more entries dynamically if needed, such that the
preallocation value becomes more of a quality-of-life option than a
necessity. Patches #6 and #7 do some cruft-removal to allow patch #8
to make the allocation behaviour more efficient in general.

Patches #1, #2 and #5 are some other cleanup and handy features which
fell out of the discussion/development.

Robin.
