Document the new dma_alloc_pages and dma_free_pages APIs, and fix
up the documentation for dma_alloc_noncoherent and dma_free_noncoherent.

Add a new API to allocate and free memory that is guaranteed to be
addressable by a device, but which potentially is not cache coherent
for DMA.
To transfer ownership to and from the device, the existing streaming
DMA API calls dma_sync_single_for_device and dma_sync_single_for_cpu
must be used.
For now the new calls are implemented on top of dma_alloc_attrs just
like the old-noncoherent API, but once all drivers are switched to
the new API it will be replaced with a better working implementation
that is available on all architectures.

dma_declare_coherent_memory should not be in a DMA API guide aimed
at driver writers (that is consumers of the API). Move it to a comment
near the function instead.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:
- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs
- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)
- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

Add a new API to check if calls to dma_sync_single_for_{device,cpu} are
required for a given DMA streaming mapping.

As we moved those files to core-api, fix references to point
to their newer locations.

Move those files to the core-api, where they belong, renaming
them to ReST and adding to the core API index file.
