Please no. There is a lot of history of these (__dma_page_cpu_to_dev etc)
functions being abused by out of tree drivers, because they think they
know better. This is stopped by making them static and ensuring that
drivers have no access to these functions.

Please do not re-expose these to the global kernel.

While it may make things easier for a cross-architecture point of view,
it makes it a lot easier for people to abuse these private APIs.
