I think this patch just to let people know that there is
case that arch-specific cache maintenance is still needed
for ACPI (such as Juno board), and in the later patches will
cover this case.

acpi_check_dma() will be replaced by acpi_get_dma_attr(),
and in acpi_get_dma_attr() will cover that case and will
be easily understood. (Suravee, correct me if I'm wrong :) )

Actually Intel platform don't need _CCA and it's coherent
in default, since _CCA is in ACPI spec, I would like it's
handled in ACPI core.
