Documentation: correct parameter error for dma_mapping_error
dma_mapping_error takes two parameters, but some of examples
in Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt just takes one. So correct
it.

DMA-API: Update dma_pool_create ()and dma_pool_alloc() descriptions
Use "boundary" to be more descriptive than "alloc" in the dma_pool_create()
documentation.

Replace "SLAB_KERNEL" and "SLAB_ATOMIC" with the correct "GFP_KERNEL" and
"GFP_ATOMIC."

DMA-API: Clarify physical/bus address distinction
The DMA-API documentation sometimes refers to "physical addresses" when it
really means "bus addresses."  Sometimes these are identical, but they may
be different if the bridge leading to the bus performs address translation.
Update the documentation to use "bus address" when appropriate.

Also, consistently capitalize "DMA", use parens with function names, use
dev_printk() in examples, and reword a few sections for clarity.

No functional change; documentation changes only.

DMA-API: provide a helper to set both DMA and coherent DMA masks
Provide a helper to set both the DMA and coherent DMA masks to the
same value - this avoids duplicated code in a number of drivers,
sometimes with buggy error handling, and also allows us identify
which drivers do things differently.

Documentation DMA-API-HOWTO.txt Add dma mapping error check usage examples
Enhance the document to discuss the importance of dma
mapping error checks after dma_map_single() and
dma_map_page() calls. Also added usage examples that include
unmap examples in error paths when dma mapping error is
returned.  Includes correct and incorrect usages to high
light some common mistakes in error paths especially when
dma mapping fails when more than one dma mapping call is
made.

ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was renamed to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (the commit
a6eb9fe105).

ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be defined instead of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to
ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe.
