Add a new seqfile for reporting coherent DMA allocations. This contains
the address range, size and the function which was used to allocate
each region, allowing these allocations to be viewed in much the same
way as /proc/vmallocinfo.
The DMA coherent region has limited space, so this allows allocation
failures to be viewed, as well as finding out how much space is being
used.
Make sure this file is only readable by root - same as vmallocinfo - to
prevent information leakage.

The DMA coherent remap area is used to provide an uncached mapping
of memory for coherency with DMA engines. Currently, we look for
any free hole which our allocation will fit in with page alignment.
However, this can lead to fragmentation of the area, and allows small
allocations to cross L1 entry boundaries. This is undesirable as we
want to move towards allocating sections of memory.
Align allocations according to the size, limiting the alignment between
the page and section sizes.
