riscv: add DMA mappings suitable for a pure 64-bit system
All RISC-V platforms today lack an IOMMU. However, legacy PCI devices sometimes require DMA-memory to be in the low 32 bits. To make this work, we enable the software-based bounce buffers from swiotlb. They only impose overhead when the device in question cannot address the full 64-bit address space, so a perfect fit. This patch assumes that DMA is coherent with the processor and the PCI bus. It also assumes that the processor and devices share a common address space. This is true for all RISC-V platforms so far.
