dma-coherent: introduce interface for default DMA pool
Christoph noticed [1] that default DMA pool in current form overload the DMA coherent infrastructure. In reply, Robin suggested [2] to split the per-device vs. global pool interfaces, so allocation/release from default DMA pool is driven by dma ops implementation. This patch implements Robin's idea and provide interface to allocate/release/mmap the default (aka global) DMA pool. To make it clear that existing *_from_coherent routines work on per-device pool rename them to *_from_dev_coherent.
