For HCs that have local memory, replace the current DMA API usage
with a genalloc generic allocator to manage the mappings for these
devices.
This is in preparation for dropping the existing "coherent" dma
mem declaration APIs. Current implementation was relying on a short
circuit in the DMA API that in the end, was acting as an allocator
for these type of devices.

Only compiled tested, so any volunteers willing to test are most welcome.

Based on my diggings into this in the past, I would expect that you need to do something about hcd_alloc_coherent() as well.

Thank you!
