Applied all the above patches.

Still need to review this one.

Had a comment on the commit message (not the patch content). I find it
too alarmist: you seem to imply that all controller drivers doing DMA
on nand buffers allocated by the core are broken, which I think is not
the case.
I don't deny the theoretical risk of using non-cache aligned buffers,
but in practice, given the workflow we have in the NAND framework, I
don't think cache management operations can trigger data corruptions (I
might be wrong, though).
