I've been working on this locally a little, but haven't tackled the
pci_alloc_consistent in a proper manner yet (the corresponding interface
for us is bus_dma, which I am just beginning to understand while working
on ati_pcigart.h/drm_scatter.h conversion).

If you would approve of me moving the mach64 files to shared/drm/kernel,
I could at least work on things incrementally (much of this stuff is
mechanical changes), and then hopefully provide something pretty to
review for pci_alloc_consistent.
