Yes, but since "dma-ranges" is a standard property, I think we should
provide a generic implementation so other platforms don't have to
copy one. Most platforms today are never cache-coherent and have
a trivial mapping, so they don't need this function, but I suppose
the case you have is getting more popular. I think shmobile is in
exactly the same position with their new r-car parts for instance.
