It looks like we rely on -fno-strict-aliasing to prevent reordering
ordinary memory accesses (such as to DMA descriptors) past the I/O
DMA descriptors in main memory are dependant on cache behaviour anyway
and the dma_* operators should be the ones enforcing the needed behaviour.
What about memory obtained from dma_alloc_coherent()? We still need a
sync and a compiler barrier. The current I/O accessors have the former,
but not the latter.
