It would, but this patch really tries to be minimally invasive to just
provide the zeroing everywhere.  There is plenty of opportunity
to improve the m68k dma allocator if I can get enough reviewers/testers:

 - for one the coldfire/nommu case absolutely does not make sense to
   me as there is not work done at all to make sure the memory is
   mapped uncached despite the architecture implementing cache
   flushing for the map interface.  So this whole implementation
   looks broken to me and will need some major work (I had a previous
   discussion with Greg on that which needs to be dug out)
 - the "regular" implementation in this patch should probably be replaced
   with the generic remapping helpers that have been added for the 4.21
   merge window:

Subject: m68k: use the generic dma coherent remap allocator

This switche to using common code for the DMA allocations, including
potential use of the CMA allocator if configure.  Also add a few
comments where the existing behavior seems to be lacking.
