Hi Finn,

One of Christoph's recent patches removed most of arches' dma ops,
replacing them by one generic implementation instead. m68k was one of
the affected arches. I concede his patch series is experimental still
and not in mainline, but may be included at some time.

Otherwise - your patches, so if you prefer to have each driver handle
this on an as-needed basis, I'm not objecting.

Cheers,
