[PATCH -mm] remove deprecated dma_sync_single and dma_sync_sg API

[FUJITA Tomonori]

Since 2.6.5, it had been commented, 'for backwards compatibility,
removed in 2.7.x'. Since 2.6.31, it have been marked as __deprecated.

I think that we can remove the API safely now.

drivers/staging/go7007/saa7134-go7007.c uses dma_sync_single().

arch/ia64/kernel/machvec.c has functions machvec_dma_sync_single() and
machvec_dma_sync_sg() which might be dead code.

I know but drivers/staging/go7007/Makefile says:

# Uncomment when the saa7134 patches get into upstream
#ifneq ($(CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134),)
#obj-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134) += saa7134-go7007.o
#EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Idrivers/media/video/saa7134 -DSAA7134_MPEG_GO7007=3
#endif

So this patch doesn't break it. But it might be better to replace the
api in it now. I'll send a patch soon.

No, they are used. The function name is deceptive though.

IA64 uses machvec_dma_sync_single() to implement
machvec_dma_sync_single_for_device() and
machvec_dma_sync_single_for_cpu()

IA64 also uses machvec_dma_sync_sg() to implement
machvec_dma_sync_sg_for_device() and machvec_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu().

IA64's dma_sync_ API works in the same way in both DMA directions.
