This is not a public header as you can guess from the file path.

Doing this just for bidirectional is weird unless your architecture
never does any speculative prefetching. Other architectures
include DMA_FROM_DEVICE here.

This should not be needed right now. And will be completley
useless once we do the direct calls to dma-iommu which we plan
to do for Linux 6.12.

And this seems odd, as iommu_setup_dma_ops is called from the iommu
code and you shouldn't need it here.

I also wonder if we can come up with a way to do the ->dma_coherent
setup in common code and remove a few of these arch hooks entirely.
