Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:
 "These are mostly arm64 fixes with an additional arm(64) platform fix
  for the initialisation of vexpress clocks (the latter only affecting
  arm64; the arch/arm64 code is SoC agnostic and does not rely on early
  SoC-specific calls)

   - vexpress platform clocks initialisation moved earlier following the
     arm64 move of of_clk_init() call in a previous commit
   - Default DMA ops changed to non-coherent to preserve compatibility
     with 32-bit ARM DT files.  The "dma-coherent" property can be used
     to explicitly mark a device coherent.  The Applied Micro DT file
     has been updated to avoid DMA cache maintenance for the X-Gene SATA
     controller (the only arm64 related driver with such assumption in
     -rc mainline)
   - Fixmap correction for earlyprintk
   - kern_addr_valid() fix for huge pages"

Since the default DMA ops for arm64 are non-coherent, mark the X-Gene
controller explicitly as dma-coherent to avoid additional cache
maintenance.

Recently, the default DMA ops have been changed to non-coherent for
alignment with 32-bit ARM platforms (and DT files). This patch adds bus
notifiers to be able to set the coherent DMA ops (with no cache
maintenance) for devices explicitly marked as coherent via the
"dma-coherent" DT property.

Currently arm64 dma_ops is by default made coherent which makes it
opposite in default policy from arm.

Make default dma_ops to be noncoherent (same as arm), as currently there
aren't any dma-capable drivers which assumes coherent ops

<title>arm64: fixmap: fix missing sub-page offset for earlyprintk</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit d57c33c5daa4 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other
similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices.

More recently, commit bf4b558eba92 (arm64: add early_ioremap support)
converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of
this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when
I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel.

Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about
sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will
be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example.

Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead
of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that
uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt
(which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us).

With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57
platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

Fix for the arm64 kern_addr_valid() function to recognize
virtual addresses in the kernel logical memory map.  The
function fails as written because it does not check whether
the addresses in that region are mapped at the pmd level to
2MB or 512MB pages, continues the page table walk to the
pte level, and issues a garbage value to pfn_valid().

Tested on 4K-page and 64K-page kernels.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This udpate delivers:

   - A fix for dynamic interrupt allocation on x86 which is required to
     exclude the GSI interrupts from the dynamic allocatable range.

     This was detected with the newfangled tablet SoCs which have GPIOs
     and therefor allocate a range of interrupts.  The MSI allocations
     already excluded the GSI range, so we never noticed before.

   - The last missing set_irq_affinity() repair, which was delayed due
     to testing issues

   - A few bug fixes for the armada SoC interrupt controller

   - A memory allocation fix for the TI crossbar interrupt controller

   - A trivial kernel-doc warning fix"
