OK. It looks that there is not that much that can be easily shared between
dma-mapping cma provider and ppc/kvm cma allocator. I would prefer to merge
patch 1/4 to my dma-mapping tree, because I plan some significant changes in
cma code, see: 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/40013/
I think it is better to keep those changes together.

For now I've merged your patch with removed defconfig updates. AFAIK such
changes require separate handling to avoid pointless merge conflicts. I've
also prepared a topic branch for-v3.12-cma-dma, available at
git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping, which You can 
merge
together with your changes to ppc kernel trees.
