Yes, in principle we could move most of it to generic code. There is
nothing architecture specific in it.
Anybody who prefers this to be arch/x86 before moving it to lib/?

I think it's better to start off with a generic version, and test it 
on more than one architecture before feeding it upstream. That way, 
you know you aren't going to have to go back to the drawing board 
with it.

Joerg, i'd suggest to make the generic conceptual bits generic, and 
add an HAVE_DMA_DEBUG_SUPPORT Kconfig bool flag to every architecture 
that enables it. It needs active changes to every architecture that 
supports this facility.
