SubjectRe: [PATCH V5 3/3] scsi: Align queue to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN innon-coherent DMA mode

At least on MIPS/Loongson, if we use I/O coherent mode (Cached DMA mode), align block queue to 4Bytes is enough. If we align block queue to dma_get_cache_alignment in I/O coherent mode, there are peformance lost because we cannot use zero-copy in most cases (user buffers are usually not aligned).

If you systems is I/O coherent it should report 1 ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN /
dma_get_cache_alignment().

Note that many drivers only support 512 byte aligned mappings for
block I/O and they've done pretty fine so far.
