use generic DMA mapping code in powerpc V4

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hello Christoph,

Thanks for your reply. I successfully compiled a kernel (uImage) for the 
X5000 from your Git 'powerpc-dma.6-debug' (both patches) today.

It detects the SATA hard disk drive and boots without any problems. I 
will test the first patch in next days.

Thanks for your help,

Christian
