Drivers have no business looking into dma-mapping internals and check what backend is used. Unfortunstely the DRM core is still broken and tries to do plain page allocations instead of using DMA API allocators by default and uses various bandaids on when to use dma_alloc_coherent. Switch nouveau to use the same (broken) scheme as amdgpu and radeon to remove the last driver user of is_swiotlb_active.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
