It _is_ very architecture specific. The coherent-ness of devices hardly
depends on the device itself. Eg, PCI devices on x86 are coherent, but
on ARM they aren't.

Future ARMs will need to do something on unmaps.

If you're non-coherent, you need to implement the sync APIs.

So mappings never fail?

It is - it depends exactly on how you setup the DMA zone and whether
all your RAM is DMA-able.
