It's worse than unsightly: It breaks TTM on PPC. See
arch/powerpc/include/asm/dma-mapping.h: get_dma_ops() returns NULL if
NULL is passed in for the device, and most of its callers BUG in that
case. The exception being dma_supported(), so a possible solution might
be to use that for checking if dma_alloc_coherent can be used.

Dave, please prevent this change from entering mainline before there's a
solution for this.
