Okay, one more thing to change.

See http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/Feb/2126.html for another 
driver with a patch.. to see what changed.
In general they changed the names to ..._for_cpu, and added some 
parameters about length and direction of the dma-transfer.
Linux says this in the changelog:
o PCI: remove all usages of pci_dma_sync_sg as it's obsolete
o PCI: remove all usages of pci_dma_sync_single as it's obsolete


.. maybe you just can comment those calls.. :)
