Sending something which wants my attention _To:_ me is always a good idea :)

The patch is fine in itself, but I have a niggle about the
is_device_dma_coherent() - provided this is only used in architecture
specific code, that should be fine.  It could probably do with a comment
to that effect in an attempt to discourage drivers using it (thereby
becoming less portable to other architectures.)
