Pass struct dev pointer to dma_cache_sync()

dma_cache_sync() is ill-designed in that it does not have a struct device
pointer argument which makes proper support for systems that consist of a
mix of coherent and non-coherent DMA devices hard.  Change dma_cache_sync
to take a struct device pointer as first argument and fix all its callers
to pass it.

dma_is_consistent() is ill-designed in that it does not have a struct
device pointer argument which makes proper support for systems that consist

dma_is_consistent to take a struct device pointer as first argument and fix
the sole caller to pass it.

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file &gt;/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

This patch fixes typos in various Documentation txts. The patch addresses some
+words starting with the letters 'U-Z'.

Looks like I made it through the alphabet...just in time to start over again
+too!  Maybe I can fit more profound fixes into the next round...?  Time will
+tell. :)

<content type='text'>
This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:

 - The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
   using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len().  That's not wholly obvious
   to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.

 - Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
   free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
   that may need to be flushed.

 - Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
   which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
   (especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.

I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors:  without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

        - double "the"
        - Several misspellings of function/functionality
        - infomation
        - memeory
        - Recieved
        - wether
and possibly others which I forgot ;-)
Trailing whitespaces on the same line as the typo are also deleted.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
