+ * DMA Coherent API Notes
+ *
+ * I/O is inherently non-coherent on ARC. So a coherent DMA buffer is
+ * implemented by accessintg it using a kernel virtual address, with
+ * Cache bit off in the TLB entry.
+ *
+ * The default DMA address == Phy address which is 0x8000_0000 based.
+ * A platform/device can make it zero based, by over-riding
+ * plat_{dma,kernel}_addr_to_{kernel,dma}
