scsi: 53c700: remove dma_is_consistent usage
This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent(). We plan to remove this
API.
The driver uses the API in the following way:
BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment());
The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than
dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory
(some old systems can't).
James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the
set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different
usages by a L1 cache stride. So it's fatal if the dma
He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this
BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver.
(akpm: stolen from the scsi tree because
dma-mapping-remove-dma_is_consistent-api.patch needs it)
