Hmm... IMHO, this seems too confusing. Why not use just something like:

#if defined(CONFIG_ARM) || defined(ARCH_HAS_DMA_MMAP_COHERENT)

Better yet: why should CONFIG_ARM should explicitly be checked here? Is it the
only architecture where this would fail?dma_mmap_coherent

Hmm...

$ git grep ARCH_HAS_DMA_MMAP_COHERENT arch
arch/powerpc/include/asm/dma-mapping.h:#define ARCH_HAS_DMA_MMAP_COHERENT

The code is saying that dma_mmap_coherent should be used only on ARM and PPC architectures,
and remap_pfn_range should be used otherwise. Are you sure that this will work on the
other architectures? I really prefer to have one standard way for doing it, that
would be architecture-independent. Media drivers or core should not have arch-dependent
code inside.
