TBH I reckon it might be worthwhile to add another top-level bitfield to 
struct device to indicate when syncs can be optimised out completely, so 
we can handle it at the DMA API dispatch level and short-circuit a bit 
more of the dma-direct path too.

This doesn't work, because at this point we don't know whether a 
coherent device is still going to need SWIOTLB for DMA mask reasons or not.
