Patchwork Swiotlb breaks pseries

Hi all,

Turning on SWIOTLB selects or enables PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS, which means
we get the non empty versions of dma_sync_* in asm/dma-mapping.h

On my pseries machine the dma_ops have no such routines and we die with
a null pointer - this patch gets it booting, is there a more elegant way
to do it?

cheers

No that's the best way (checking for NULL in the inlines), avoids
calling through a function pointer when not needed, since this can
be a fairly hot path, especially with networking.
