Ok, done that now.

I've changed arch_sync_dma_clean_before_fromdevice() to a
Kconfig symbol now, as this is never a runtime decision.
For arch_sync_dma_cpu_needs_post_dma_flush(), I have this
version now in common code, which lets mips and arm have
their own logic and has the same effect elsewhere:
+#ifndef arch_sync_dma_cpu_needs_post_dma_flush
+static inline bool arch_sync_dma_cpu_needs_post_dma_flush(void)
+{
+ return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_DMA_FOR_CPU);
+}
+#endif

This was left over from an earlier draft and accidentally duplicates
the thing that I have in the Arm version for the existing
ARCH_HAS_DMA_MARK_CLEAN. I dropped this one and the
generic copy of the arch_dma_mark_dcache_clean() function
now, but still need to revisit the arm version, as it sounds
like it has slightly different semantics from the ia64 version.
