I dunno.  There are still several callers to dma_sync_single() and
dma_sync_sg() in various drivers and adding the warning will just
irritate people.  It would be better to make an effort to convert those
callsites before filling everyone's screens with yet more warnings.

Most of the offenders are in USB, so let's optimistically cc those fine
folks.
