Hmm, would we actually need to keep ARCH_HAS_UNCACHED_SEGMENT? If 
arch_dma_set_uncached() returned void*/ERR_PTR instead, then it could work 
for both cases (with arch_dma_clear_uncached() being a no-op for segments).
Yes, I think so.  I was a little worried about what to do with
cached_kernel_address() in that scheme, but it turns out with the recent
round of dma-direct cleanup that is actually entirely unused now.
