Subject: [RFC] ARM: bcm2835: register dmabounce on devices hooked to main interconnect

NOTE: This patch builds upon Stefan's series providing basic support for
RPi4[1]. I'm mostly interested in verifying if this is the correct approach
to the issue stated below. If so I assume this will be added to Stefan's
v2 series.

The new Raspberry Pi 4 happens to have weird DMA constraints. Even
though it might contain up to 4 GB of ram, most devices can only access
the first lower GB of memory.

This breaks the overall assumption DMA API makes whereas 32-bit DMA
masks are always supported[2], and potentially breaks DMA addressing for
all streaming DMA users. This has already been observed with
'sdhci-iproc' but might as well happen elsewhere. Note that contiguous
allocations are safe as 'dma_zone_size' is set accordingly.

To get around that limitation we register arm's dmabounce dma-ops on all
devices hooked to the SoC's main interconnect.
