Use the DMA API bypass mechanism for direct window mappings. This uses
common code and speed up the direct mapping case by avoiding indirect
calls just when not using dma ops at all. It also fixes a problem where
the sync_* methods were using the bypass check for DMA allocations, but
those are part of the streaming ops.
Note that this patch loses the DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING override, which
has never been well defined, as is only used by a few drivers, which
IIRC never showed up in the typical Cell blade setups that are affected
by the ordering workaround.

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.
