We'll definitively need an implementation for dma-direct at least as
well. Also as said previously we need a dma_can_unmap_by_dma_addr()
or similar helper that tells the driver beforehand if this works, so
that the driver can either use a sub-optimal workaround or fail the
probe if this functionality isn't implemented.
