    powerpc: Fix dma_map_sg() cache flushing on non coherent platforms
    
    On PowerPC 4xx or other non cache-coherent platforms, we lost the
    appropriate cache flushing in dma_map_sg() when merging the 32 and
    64-bit DMA code (commit 4fc665b88a79a45bae8bbf3a05563c27c7337c3d,
    "powerpc: Merge 32 and 64-bit dma code").  This restores it.
