>Since a number of powerpc chips are SoCs we end up having dma-able
>devices that are registered as platform or of_platform devices.  We need
>to hook the archdata to setup proper dma_ops for these devices.
>
>Rather than having to add a bus_notify to each platform we add a default
>one at the highest priority (called first) to set the default dma_ops for
>of_platform and platform devices to dma_direct_ops.  This allows platform
>code to override the ops by providing their own notifier call back.
>
>In the future to enable >4G DMA support on ppc32 we can hook swiotlb ops.
