Browse source 
Strongly ordered memory is occasionally needed for some DMA
allocations for specialized use cases. Add the corresponding
DMA attribute.

Since it is optional for platforms to implement
DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING, those that do not will simply ignore the
attribute and exhibit default behavior.
DMA_ATTR_STRONGLY_ORDERED
-------------------------
DMA_ATTR_STRONGLY_ORDERED allocates memory with a very restrictive type
of mapping (no unaligned accesses, no re-ordering, no write merging, no
buffering, no pre-fetching). This has severe performance penalties and
should not be used for general purpose DMA allocations. It should only
be used if one of the restrictions on strongly ordered memory is required.
