 non-coherent DMA mode

We can't just call platform device code.  We'll need a proper
DMA API call for this.

Which we already have with dma_get_cache_alignment, except that it
doesn't take a struct device pointer and doesn't call into dma_map
ops.  So please add a struct device argument to dma_get_cache_alignment,
and let it call into dma_map_ops where needed.

With that you can replace the above with:

	blk_queue_dma_alignment(q,
			max(0x04U, dma_get_cache_alignment(dev)) - 1);
