This looks functionally equivalent to __dma_clean_range. How about we:

  1. Convert the __dma_* routines to use dcache_by_line
  2. Introduce __clean_dcache_area_poc as a fallthrough to __dma_clean_range
  3. Use __clean_dcache_area_poc for the pmem stuff (with some parameter
     marshalling in the macro).
