Kernel Source and devicetree for NOTHING Phone(3a) and Phone(3a)Pro

This replaces the spaghetti code in the two existing page pools.
First of all depending on the allocation size it is between 3 (1GiB) and
5 (1MiB) times faster than the old implementation.
It makes better use of buddy pages to allow for larger physical contiguous
allocations which should result in better TLB utilization at least for
amdgpu.
Instead of a completely braindead approach of filling the pool with one
CPU while another one is trying to shrink it we only give back freed
pages.
This also results in much less locking contention and a trylock free MM
shrinker callback, so we can guarantee that pages are given back to the
system when needed.
Downside of this is that it takes longer for many small allocations until
the pool is filled up. We could address this, but I couldn't find an use
case where this actually matters. We also don't bother freeing large
chunks of pages any more since the CPU overhead in that path isn't really
that important.
The sysfs files are replaced with a single module parameter, allowing
users to override how many pages should be globally pooled in TTM. This
unfortunately breaks the UAPI slightly, but as far as we know nobody ever
depended on this.
Zeroing memory coming from the pool was handled inconsistently. The
alloc_pages() based pool was zeroing it, the dma_alloc_attr() based one
wasn't. For now the new implementation isn't zeroing pages from the pool
either and only sets the __GFP_ZERO flag when necessary.
The implementation has only 768 lines of code compared to the over 2600
of the old one, and also allows for saving quite a bunch of code in the
drivers since we don't need specialized handling there any more based on
kernel config.
Additional to all of that there was a neat bug with IOMMU, coherent DMA
mappings and huge pages which is now fixed in the new code as well.
v2: make ttm_pool_apply_caching static as reported by the kernel bot, add
some more checks
v3: fix some more checkpatch.pl warnings

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
