After a read with DMA from sd/mmc interface, a DMA buffer allocated by
dma_alloc_coherent() is filled.
This buffer is then copied to the scatterlist provided by the mmc
request (from drivers/mmc/card/block.c it seems that sg buffers are
alocacted via kmalloc()).

For each buffer of the scatterlist, I do this dmac_flush_rage()...

As copy is done between a coherent and a kernel memory buffers, I guess
that the flushing routine is not needed?
