I actually spoke too fast, the .of_xlate() callback is called before 
arch_setup_dma_ops(). The operation could be performed in the .add_device() 
callback. I'm having trouble understanding how you envision .add_device, 
.remove_device and .of_xlate working together in the DT case. Could you please 
detail what you think each callback should be responsible of exactly ?
