The other way around would be better, properly implement
dma_{alloc,free}_attrs and implement dma_{alloc,free}_coherent on top of
the. E.g. you are supposed to pass the attrs parameter to ops->alloc and
ops->free instead of NULL. And it will also allow us to move
dma_{alloc,free}_coherent to asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h eventually.
