Update DMA-mapping documentation

A couple of updates haven't considered whether the documentation makes
sense as a whole any more.  Three changes here:

 - Remove the reference to the "DAC Addressing for Address Space Hungry
   Devices" section which was deleted by Jan Beulich.
 - Remove the comment about DMA_24BIT_MASK which became obsolete when
   Tobias Klauser changed the code to actually use DMA_24BIT_MASK.
 - Remove the section "64-bit DMA and DAC cycle support" since it's
   fully covered above, and contains a reference to the section deleted
   by Jan.
