Lorenzo Pieralisi c04ac679c6 ACPI: Introduce DMA ranges parsing
Some devices have limited addressing capabilities and cannot
reference the whole memory address space while carrying out DMA
operations (eg some devices with bus address bits range smaller than
system bus - which prevents them from using bus addresses that are
otherwise valid for the system).

The ACPI _DMA object allows bus devices to define the DMA window that is
actually addressable by devices that sit upstream the bus, therefore
providing a means to parse and initialize the devices DMA masks and
addressable DMA range size.

By relying on the generic ACPI kernel layer to retrieve and parse
resources, introduce ACPI core code to parse the _DMA object.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
