The current SWIOTLB code does not support NOT_COHERENT_CACHE platforms.
This patch adds support for NOT_COHERENT_CACHE platforms to SWIOTLB by
adding two platform specific functions swiotlb_dma_sync_page() and
swiotlb_dma_sync() which can be used to explicitly manage cache coherency.

On PowerPC these functions are mapped to their corresponding
__dma_sync_page() and __dma_sync() functions.
On other architectures using SWIOTLB these functions are optimized out.

This will be used later to support SWIOTLB on the Nintendo Wii video game
console.

Why can't you use dma_sync_single_* instead of inventing new
swiotlb sync functions?
