lib/genalloc: add a helper function for DMA buffer allocation
When using pool space for DMA buffer, there might be duplicated calling of gen_pool_alloc() and gen_pool_virt_to_phys() in each implementation. Thus it's better to add a simple helper function, a compatible one to the common dma_alloc_coherent(), to save some code. Signed-off-by: Nicolin Chen <b42378@freescale.com> Cc: "Hans J.
