I'm not convinced that we need this check here:

        dev->archdata.dmabounce = device_info;
        set_dma_ops(dev, &dmabounce_ops);

There shouldn't be any chance of dev->archdata.dmabounce being NULL if
the dmabounce_ops has been set as the current device DMA ops.  So I
think that test can be killed.
