That is a problem I didn't think about. I did a check and looks like c6x
and frv are the only ones that don't have get_dma_ops() defined. frv is
in a different category as it doesn't use dma_debug interfaces. IN the
case c6x, now with my change to add debug_dma_mapping_error(), we will
start seeing warnings since dma_map_page() and dma_map_single() are
debugged with a call to debug_dma_map_page() and the corresponding
dma_mapping_error() interface doesn't call debug_dma_mapping_error()
interface

- Does adding get_dma_ops() make sense? Doesn't look like c6x exports
dma_ops?

Any other ideas?
