[RFC] drm/ttm: dma: Fixes for 32-bit and 64-bit ARM

[Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@gmail.com>]

From: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

dma_alloc_coherent() returns a kernel virtual address that is part of
the linear range. Passing such an address to virt_to_page() is illegal
on non-coherent architectures. This causes the kernel to oops on 64-bit
ARM because the struct page * obtained from virt_to_page() points to
unmapped memory.

This commit fixes this by using phys_to_page() since we get a physical
address from dma_alloc_coherent(). Note that this is not a proper fix
because if an IOMMU is set up to translate addresses for the GPU this
address will be an I/O virtual address rather than a physical one. The
proper fix probably involves not getting a pointer to the struct page
in the first place, but that would be a much more intrusive change, if
at all possible.

Until that time, this temporary fix will allow TTM to work on 32-bit
and 64-bit ARM as well, provided that no IOMMU translations are enabled
for the GPU.

Arnd, I realize that this isn't a proper fix according to what we discussed on
IRC yesterday, but I can't see a way to remove access to the pages array that
would be as simple as this. I've marked this as RFC in the hope that it will
trigger some discussion that will lead to a proper solution.
