When you say things like "additionally", that's a huge flag that this
needs to be split up into multiple patches.  No need to add
set_dma_ops() here in this patch.

And I'd argue that it should be dma_ops_set(), and dma_ops_get(), just
to keep the namespace sane, but that's probably a different set of
patches...
