I was thinking about something like below (maybe with some additional
ARCH_HAS_NONCOHERENT_DMA config for architectures that are always
coherent):

If you want to push something for 3.18, you could have a temporary
solution but I would prefer a bool or something in the dev_archdata
structure. Another untested patch:

This way you don't have to test for swiotlb vs iommu ops (we don't have
the latter yet on arm64 but they are coming).
