This doesn't work - not only do you lose the 'managed' aspect and risk
leaking various tables on probe failure or device removal, but more
importantly, unless you add DMA syncs around all the CPU accesses to the
tables, you lose the critical 'coherent' aspect, and that's a horribly
invasive change that I really don't want to make.

Christoph, Marek; how reasonable do you think it is to expect
dma_alloc_coherent() to be inherently NUMA-aware on NUMA-capable
systems? SWIOTLB looks fairly straightforward to fix up (for the simple
allocation case; I'm not sure it's even worth it for bounce-buffering),
but the likes of CMA might be a little trickier...
