Subject: [PATCH] dma-debug: Make leak-like behaviour apparent
Now that we can dynamically allocate DMA debug entries to cope with
drivers maintaining excessively large numbers of live mappings, a driver
which *does* actually have a bug leaking mappings (and is not unloaded)
will no longer trigger the "DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling"
message until it gets to actual kernel OOM conditions, which means it
could go unnoticed for a while. To that end, let's inform the user each
time the pool has grown to a multiple of its initial size, which should
make it apparent that they either have a leak or might want to increase
the preallocation size.

When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
out of dma_debug_entries and was unable to allocate more on-demand. 65536
entries are preallocated at boot - if this is too low for you boot with
-'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the default.

+that a driver may be leaking mappings.
