As told a bunch of times before: doing indirect calls here is a
performance nightmare.  Use something that actually does perform
horribly like alternatives.  Or even delay implementing that until
we need it and do a plain direct call for now.

static void __dma_sync(phys_addr_t paddr, size_t size, enum dma_data_direction dir)

The seletion of flush types is completely broken.  Take a look at the
comment in arch/arc/mm/dma.c above arch_sync_dma_for_device for a good
explanation.

arch_dma_prep_coherent is not supposed to modify the content of
the data.
