A patch to change Alpha to handle two dma mapping implementations
(pci-noop and the IOMMU) in the standard way (like X86, POWER, IA64,
etc do) is acceptable?

pci-noop has something like struct dma_map_ops nommu_dma_ops (similar
to pci-nommu.c in arch/x86/kernel/pci-nommu.c) and pci_iommu.c has
struct dma_map_ops iommu_dma_ops. Then at startup, the kernel properly
sets dma_ops pointer to nommu_dma_ops or iommu_dma_ops.

Then we can handle the dma mapping operations in the consistent way,
e.g., dma_map_sg can be just `return ops->map_sg(dev, sg, nents,
dir)`.
