I totally miss _why_ you add this function.
Just a small comment in the changelog would help.
It may due to my ignorance of all the dma stuff...

How about a patch that fix it so mmu_inval_dma_area() takes a void *
as first argument?
In most cases I see a cast from void * => unsigned long where we call
mmu_inval_dma_area().

In sbus_alloc_coherent() we use the result of __get_free_pages()
but the general pattern is that the result of __get_free_pages()
is cast to the right type when used.

So if we did:

void * va;

va = (void *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP, order);
Then we could remove all the other casts.
