Thanks for your feedback.

If someone reuse these wrappers, that will not be checked by checkpatch.pl.
And I also will not add check condition to checkpatch.pl, because the wrappers
in include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h will go away soon.

Removing these API helps driver owner to avoid reusing these obsolete wrappers
without reviwing it manually, only works before pci-dma-compat.h is droped.

Thanks

it maybe cost serval weeks before all subtrees merge to linux-next.
