Merge tag 'dma-mapping-4.14' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping
Pull dma-mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
- removal of the old dma_alloc_noncoherent interface
- remove unused flags to dma_declare_coherent_memory
- restrict OF DMA configuration to specific physical busses
- use the iommu mailing list for dma-mapping questions and patches
