Andrew Lewis 03d70617b8 powerpc: Prevent memory corruption due to cache invalidation of unaligned DMA buffer
On PowerPC processors with non-coherent cache architectures the DMA
subsystem calls invalidate_dcache_range() before performing a DMA read
operation.  If the address and length of the DMA buffer are not aligned
to a cache-line boundary this can result in memory outside of the DMA
buffer being invalidated in the cache.  If this memory has an
uncommitted store then the data will be lost and a subsequent read of
that address will result in an old value being returned from main memory.

Only when the DMA buffer starts on a cache-line boundary and is an exact
mutiple of the cache-line size can invalidate_dcache_range() be called,
otherwise flush_dcache_range() must be called.  flush_dcache_range()
will first flush uncommitted writes, and then invalidate the cache.
