Hi Christoph,

I test kernel from your 'dma-alloc-always-zero' branch, and as
I can see we have DMA peripherals (like USB) broken.

There are the errors example I got during USB initializing:
------------------------------>8--------------------------------
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb usb1-port1: attempt power cycle
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-platform

usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-platform
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using ohci-platform
usb 2-1: device descriptor read/all, error -84
usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ohci-platform
