Umm, no.  The whole idea of the DMA mapping API is that it's independant
of the underlying bus.  Think of usb or ieee1394 drivers doing direct DMA
independant of the bus the underlying host adapter uses.

We don't try to avoid that.  You should at least make them sparc dma
mapping API noops for !CONFIG_PCI because it's assume you always
include the header - whether you can actually use the functionaly
depends on whether your bus supports this API.
