At least for USB I'm pretty sure this isn't required at all.  I've been
running with the patch below on my desktop for two days now trying all
the usb toys I have (in addition to grepping for obvious abuses in
the drivers).  remoteproc is a different story, but the DMA handling
seems there is sketchy to start with..

Subject: usb: don't inherity DMA properties for USB devices

As the comment in usb_alloc_dev correctly states, drivers can't use
the DMA API on usb device, and at least calling dma_set_mask on them
is highly dangerous.  Unlike what the comment states upper level drivers
also can't really use the presence of a dma mask to check for DMA
support, as the dma_mask is set by default for most busses.

Remove the copying over of DMA information, and remove the now unused
dma_direct_copy_range_map export.
