Most drivers try to avoid coherent allocations in the fast path if
they can.  Another good option for Christians problem would be
to switch the the dmaengine driver to use dma_alloc_pages - it doesn't
actually need uncached memory as far as I can, dma_alloc_coherent is
just the only API we had to allocate guaranteed DMAable memory for most
of Linux's existence.
