I generally prefer to have at least something useful in the description, e.g.
why it's now unused and what it was used for before.

I think __virt_to_bus() is now unused as well and could be removed
in the same step.
It looks like __bus_to_virt() is still used in the ISA DMA API, but
as that is only used on footbridge and rpc, the generic version of
that could be moved into rpc (footbridge already has a custom
version).
