Ideally we would not need errata to turn this stuff on at all, but, as
you pointed out to me off-list, arch_setup_dma_ops() complains if we
have not set up.

I'm happy to commit to trying to sort that out in follow on work w/ MPFS,
since in that case it really isn't errata, and not require it for this
series as you do fit that particular bill IMO.
