Logically speaking on no-mmio no-swiotlb platforms dma_sync_single_for_cpu
and dma_unmap should always be identical.  With the migration towards
everyone using dma-direct and dma-noncoherent this is actually going to
be enforced, and I plan to move that enforcement to common code in the
next merge window or two.
