So are dma_mmap_coherent() and dma_get_sgtable() part of the DMA API
now? I don't them in Documentation/DMA*.txt anywhere.

Why does the default dma_common_mmap() for !CONFIG_MMU return an
error?

Wouldn't it be better to provide default implementations that an arch
could override rather than having to patch all "no dma_map_ops"
architectures?
