The answer _always_ is that if the existing APIs don't give you want
you need, then either the APIs need extending or a new API needs to
be created.

In any case, have you looked at the latest set of SCM patches?  They
don't make use of DMA coherent memory anymore, so the problem would
seem to be resolved.
