Well, this is wrong: you just made every 32 bit parisc system
unnecessarily use non-coherent.  We actually only have a small small
set of non-coherent systems.  The pxcs and pcxt systems (which are
about 99% of the user base) can use coherent dma ops.  The problem
seems to be in your new world you only have one dma_noncoherent_ops
pointer ... we definitely need two on parisc, so whether
arch_dma_cache_sync is present or not needs to be dynamic not config
defined.
