I reckon this is self-evident enough that it should simply be squashed into
the previous patch.

x86 didn't wire it up before, so I want a clear blaimpoint for this
change instead of mixing it up.
That almost makes sense, if x86 were using this generic swiotlb_dma_ops already. AFAICS it's only ia64, unicore and tile who end up using it, and they all had swiotlb_dma_supported hooked up to begin with. Am I missing something?

If regressions are going to happen, they'll surely point at whichever commit pulls the ops into the relevant arch code - there doesn't seem to be a great deal of value in having a piecemeal history of said ops *before* that point.
