We want to use the dma_direct_ namespace for a generic implementation,
so rename powerpc to the second best choice: dma_nommu_.
I'm not a fan of "nommu". Some of the users of direct ops *are* using an
IOMMU, they're just setting up a 1:1 mapping once at init time, rather
than mapping dynamically.

Though I don't have a good idea for a better name, maybe "1to1",
"linear", "premapped" ?
"identity"?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
