Initially vmware buffer objects were only used as DMA buffers, so the name DMA buffer was a natural one. However, currently they are used also as dumb buffers and MOBs backing guest backed objects so renaming them to buffer objects is logical. Particularly since there is a dmabuf subsystem in the kernel where a dma buffer means something completely different. This also renames user-space api structures and IOCTL names correspondingly, but the old names remain defined for now and the ABI hasn't changed. There are a couple of minor style changes to make checkpatch happy.
