[PATCH 5/4] Provide __dma_aligned macro

[David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>]

Commit 3843384a055496dfed3c93ae883d964d8290fdab ("Input: ad7877 - keep
dma rx buffers in seperate cache lines")[sic] introduced the use of
____cacheline_aligned to ensure that buffers used for DMA as part of a
structure were suitably separated from the rest of the structure.

However, aligning to the cache line size isn't necessary on
cache-coherent architectures. To avoid wasting space, the correct value
to use for the alignment is ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.

This patch provides a __dma_aligned macro which does the right thing.
