Additionally, introduce set_dma_ops(). A later patch will introduce a
call to that function in the RDMA drivers that will be modified to use
dma_noop_ops.
This looks good to me, and we had a lot of talk about this for other
purposes for a while. 
Hm, I'm not convinced we want per-device dma_ops. What we want is per-
device IOMMU ops, and any dma_ops are just a generic or platform-
specific (in some cases) wrapper around those. We shouldn't normally
need per-device DMA ops at all.
