I don't think that this works for all architectures because a returned
buffer of alloc_pages_node might not be DMA-capable. Needs to use the
coherent_dma_mask here. See x86's dma_alloc_coherent and Alpha's
pci-noop.c (there might be other examples).
I think that having a generic header for simple mapping functions
(dma_map_single, dma_map_page, dma_map_sg, etc) would be useful but
I'm not sure if we can't have a generic version of
dma_alloc_coherent. There are lots of architectures that do
architecture-specific things. For example, you replaced avr32
dma-mapping.h except for dma_alloc_coherent, which seems to be can't
be generic.
BTW, it looks odd to add dma_debug to dma_map_single, etc but not
dma_alloc_coherent. ;)
