Just in case ... let's not modify 64 bits behaviour especially to
something that will ultimately go away. I prefer failing if DMA ops are
not set rather than using a set of ops that will cause DMA to the wrong
place.

This has to be done by whoever creates the struct device. Can be a bit
annoying with platform devices, I agree. One way to do it is to use the
bus notifiers mechanism, which allows you for example to have a default
for any platform device.
