This patch makes part of the ARM dmabounce code available to other
architectures as a generic API.

There is already a generic dma bounce implementation - it's called
swiotlb - lib/swiotlb.c.  We should eventually switch the ARM
dmabounce stuff over to that instead of keeping dmabounce around.

The only problem I forsee is that on ARM, we have devices which can
only address the least significant N bits of RAM, but there may be
an offset on the base address of RAM on the bus which isn't included
in these N bits.

Even more fun is where we have a DMA controller which can address
N bits of RAM, except for bit M which must be zero... (where N > M).
