Now that all the common cases have been mopped up by dma-direct, I'm 
inclined to agree that this seems reasonable. For sure there is code out 
there still abusing random DMA API calls as a cache maintenance 
interface because it thinks it knows better, but even that's going to be 
running on platforms where it expects unmap to have the desired effect 
anyway, so the chance of somehow ending up with the dummy ops and 
crashing seems sufficiently unlikely.

However, I'm a little wary of the static checker brigade noticing that 
and trying to "fix" it by reinstating these tests, so perhaps it's worth 
just adding unmaps to the dummy ops (with a WARN() in them) as well for 
the sake of cleanliness and avoidance of any doubt.

Thanks,
Robin.
