DMA debug entries are one of those things which aren't that useful individually - we will always want some larger quantity of them - and which we don't really need to manage the exact number of - we only care about having 'enough'. In that regard, the current behaviour of creating them one-by-one leads to a lot of unwarranted function call overhead and memory wasted on alignment padding. Now that we don't have to worry about freeing anything via dma_debug_resize_entries(), we can optimise the allocation behaviour by grabbing whole pages at once, which will save considerably on the aforementioned overheads, and probably offer a little more cache/TLB locality benefit for traversing the lists under normal operation. This should also give even less reason for an architecture-level override of the preallocation size, so make the definition unconditional - if there is still any desire to change the compile-time value for some platforms it would be better off as a Kconfig option anyway. Since freeing a whole page of entries at once becomes enough of a challenge that it's not really worth complicating dma_debug_init(), we may as well tweak the preallocation behaviour such that as long as we manage to allocate *some* pages, we can leave debugging enabled on a best-effort basis rather than otherwise wasting them.
