I think you need to drop this ifdef.  This code should work just fine
on noncoherent mips and sh platforms.

I wonder if we should lift this into a helper.  On the one hand I had
proliferating struct scatterlist usage, on the other hand it is all over
the media and drm code anyway, and duplicating this doesn't help anyone.

Possibly including the fallback to the coherent allocating.
