New Revision: 289887
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/289887

Log:
  Rename dcache_dma_preread() to dcache_inv_poc_dma() to make it clear that it
  is a dcache invalidate to point of coherency just like dcache_inv_poc(), but
  a slightly different version specific to dma operations.  Elaborate the
  comment about how and why it's different.
