It works but it doesn't feel right (why should all pci devices have this
duplicated data).

Frankly I don't get the usecase of infiniband (sometimes) using
device->dev.dma_ops instead of parent->dma_ops. Also that these values are
selectively copied from the parent looks weird (opposed to all or nothing).

What about reintroducing dma_device (as an infiniband internal) and set it
to &ib_device->dev if you have to and to parent in all other cases?
