Make kmalloc'ed memory really DMA-safe
In Linux, the memory returned by kmalloc() is DMA-capable. However, it is not true in U-Boot. At a glance, kmalloc() in U-Boot returns address aligned with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. However, it never pads the allocated memory. This half-way house is completely useless because calling kmalloc() and malloc() in this order causes a cache sharing problem. Change the implementation to call malloc_cache_aligned(), which allocates really DMA-capable memory. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
