[PATCH 14/21] parisc: dma-mapping: use regular flush/invalidate ops

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

non-coherent devices on parisc traditionally use a full flush+invalidate
before and after each DMA, which is more expensive that what we do on
other architectures.

Before transfers to a device, the cache only has to be written back,
but apparently there is no operation for this on parisc. There is no
need to flush it again after the transfer though.

After transfers from a device, the second writeback can be skipped because
the CPU was not allowed to write to the buffer anyway, instead a purge
(invalidate without flush) can be used.

The DMA_FROM_DEVICE is handled differently across architectures,
most use only an invalidate (purge) operation, but some have moved
to flush in order to preserve dirty data when the device does not
write to the buffer, see the link below. As parisc already did the
full flush here, keep that behavior.

I'm not really sure I understand the semantics of the 'flush'
and 'purge' operations on parisc correctly, please double-check that
this makes sense in the context of this architecture.
