CONFIG_CONTIGUOUS_PAGE_ALLOC doesn't exist in Kconfig, therefore removing
all references to it from the source.

<title>dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN</title>

<content type='text'>
Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others).  So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

This patch:

dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction).  However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.

Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).

  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/microblaze/kernel/Makefile due to just
some obj-y removals by the devicetree branch, while the microblaze
updates added a new file.

PowerPC description:
On platforms doing non-coherent DMA (4xx, 8xx, ...), it's important
that the kmalloc minimum alignment is set to the cache line size, to
avoid sharing cache lines between different objects, so that DMA to
one of the objects doesn't corrupt the other.

Current implementation doesn't handle dcache_line_length
correctly that's why is better to use generic memcpy.

Cache optimized function could be good way howto improve
performance but must be based on benchmarking not blind
function like this.
