It looks I've hurries a bit too much. This patch is not yet ready for -next:

1. attrs are not passed to debug_dma_unmap_{phys, sg}

2. attrs are not propagated to 'struct dma_debug_entry ref' in 
debug_dma_free_{coherent, pages}

3. DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN and DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES should be probably 
ignored, as are they don't make any sense to check in free calls


The above issues result in dozens of false-positive warnings, even in 
drivers doing simple dma_alloc_wc(...) and then dma_free_wc(...).
