Change spin_locks to irqsave to prevent dead-locks.
Protect adding and deleting to/from dca_providers list.
Drop the lock during dca_sysfs_add_req() and dca_sysfs_remove_req() calls
as they might sleep (use GFP_KERNEL allocation).

There are dmaengine users that would like to register dma devices at
subsys_initcall time to ensure channels are available by device_initcall
time.

Mark dca_init as a subsys_initcall since it needs to be ready to go
before dependent drivers start registering themselves.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds to ioatdma and dca modules
support for Intel I/OAT DMA engine ver.3 (aka CB3 device).
The main features of I/OAT ver.3 are:
 * 8 single channel DMA devices (8 channels total)
 * 8 DCA providers, each can accept 2 requesters
 * 8-bit TAG values and 32-bit extended APIC IDs

<title>DCA: Add Direct Cache Access driver</title>

Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.  This
patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA
services with devices that offer DCA services.

In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag
bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU.  However, different
CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods
for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a
hardware specific magic incantation.  This interface is a way for DCA
clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing
to know the specifics.

    [Dave Miller] use DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
