This patch try to avoids eviction of dirty lines during DMA
transfer. The code right now execute the following step:

- allocate the buffer
- start a dma operation using the non-coherent dma buffer
- invalidate cache lines associated with the buffer
- read the buffer

This can lead to reading back not valid information, because the cache
controller could evict dirty cache lines belonging to the buffer *after*
the DMA operation has started to fill the DRAM.
In order to avoid this, a new invalidation is required *before* starting
the DMA operation. The patch just adds an invalidation before submitting
the DMA command.

Example below shows the nvme disk scan result without the following
patch

=&gt; nvme scan
nvme_get_info_from_identify: nn = 544502629, vwc = 100,
sn = dev_0T, mn = `�\�, fr = t_part, mdts = 105

So, invalidating the cache before submitting the admin command,
fix the cpu read.

<title>dm: core: Create a new header file for 'compat' features</title>

At present dm/device.h includes the linux-compatible features. This
requires including linux/compat.h which in turn includes a lot of headers.
One of these is malloc.h which we thus end up including in every file in
U-Boot. Apart from the inefficiency of this, it is problematic for sandbox
which needs to use the system malloc() in some files.

Move the compatibility features into a separate header file.

These functions are CPU-related and do not use driver model. Move them to

Change the stack-allocated buffer for the identification command
to explicitly allocate page-aligned buffers.  Even though the spec
seems to allow having admin queue commands on non page-aligned
buffers, it seems to not be possible on my i.MX8MQ board with a
a Silicon Power P34A80.  Since all of the NVMe drivers I have seen
always do admin commands on a page-aligned buffer, which does work
on my system, it makes sense for us to do that as well.

<title>nvme: flush dcache on both r/w, and the prp list</title>

It's possible that the data cache for the buffer still holds data
to be flushed to memory, since the buffer was probably used as stack
before.  Thus we need to make sure to flush it also on reads, since
it's possible that the cache is automatically flused to memory after
the NVMe DMA transfer happened, thus overwriting the NVMe transfer's
data.  Also add a missing dcache flush for the prp list.

This adds a function which can be used by e.g. EFI to retrieve
the namespace identifier and EUI64.  For that it adds the EUI64
to its driver internal namespace structure and copies the EUI64
during namespace identification.

<title>nvme: Fix PRP Offset Invalid</title>

When large writes take place I saw a Samsung EVO 970+ return a status
value of 0x13, PRP Offset Invalid.  I tracked this down to the
improper handling of PRP entries.  The blocks the PRP entries are
placed in cannot cross a page boundary and thus should be allocated
on page boundaries.  This is how the Linux kernel driver works.

With this patch, the PRP pool is allocated on a page boundary and
other than the very first allocation, the pool size is a multiple of
the page size.  Each page can hold (4096 / 8) - 1 entries since the
last entry must point to the next page in the pool.
