CONFIG_DMA_NONCOHERENT is set on sh and mips for platforms that may
support non-coherent DMA at compile time (but at least for mips that
doesn't actually means this gets used).  Using that ifdef to decide
on using usb_alloc_coherent vs letting the usb layer map the data
seems at best odd, and if we are unlucky papering over a bug somewhere.
