[PATCH v2 05/11] ARM: dma-mapping: Bypass the legacy path for core-owned DMA API domains

ARM's arch_setup_dma_ops / arm_setup_iommu_dma_ops creates a custom
IOMMU domain for DMA API usage, and continues to do so when the IOMMU
driver doesn't explicitly request a DMA default domain type.

When, however, that DMA default domain is requested and the core owns
the domain, we need to skip our own domain management. Add checks to
arm_setup/teardown_iommu_dma_ops for these cases. In such a case IOVAs
can be allocated from anywhere in the domain's geometry, so also add a
check to ensure the device's dma-ranges cover it. Presently, this is the
case for all platforms except some OMAP platforms with a non-zero
dma-ranges base.
