Good thought, however __intel_map_single() gets called with either the
dma_mask or the coherent_dma_mask.  dma_capable() only checks dma_mask,
so would only work for one of the callers.

I'm open to suggestions.  I don't really understand why we dropped
swiotlb for passthrough mode in 2.6.32 to start with.  It seems like we
now have a couple corner cases where we have to either hope for the best
or effectively ignore the request to use passthrough.  Thanks,
