+Rename CMA helpers to DMA helpers
+---------------------------------
+
+CMA (standing for contiguous memory allocator) is really a bit an accident of
+what these were used for first, a much better name would be DMA helpers. In the
+text these should even be called coherent DMA memory helpers (so maybe CDM, but
+no one knows what that means) since underneath they just use dma_alloc_coherent.
