    Logically speaking on no-mmio no-swiotlb platforms dma_sync_single_for_cpu
    and dma_unmap should always be identical. With the migration towards
    everyone using dma-direct and dma-noncoherent this is actually going to
    be enforced, and I plan to move that enforcement to common code in the
    next merge window or two.
