It not trivial without understanding the dma mask details. Do I read the x86
implementation right, that it limits the dma to 32 bit? Then we cannot collapse
both implementations. Or maybe we can hide this in dma_capable. Dont know

So I would prefer to keep it as is and let someone with x86 test environment do
the unification. Christoph, I think you wanted to do that anyway, are you willing
to do that?
