I just posted this series fixing it for powerpc, microblaze and sh. I
did not add the #ifndef __powerpc64__ line since
CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE should not be enabled for those builds.

I think it should also remove the ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN from asm/page.h (as
I did in my series; sorry I did not cc you, only noticed now that you
