phys_to_dma, dma_to_phys and dma_capable are helpers published by
architecture code for use of swiotlb and xen-swiotlb only.  Drivers are
not supposed to use these directly, but use the DMA API instead.

Move these to a new asm/dma-direct.h helper, included by a
linux/dma-direct.h wrapper that provides the default linear mapping
unless the architecture wants to override it.

I took a look at these, and it seems their phys_to_dma() usage is doing 
the thing which we subsequently formalised as dma_map_resource(). I've 
had a crack at a quick patch to update the CESA driver; qcom_nandc looks 
slightly more complex in that the changes probably need to span the BAM 
dmaengine driver as well.

In the process, though, I stumbled across gen_pool_dma_alloc() - yuck, 
something needs doing there, for sure...
