Revert "vring: Force use of DMA API for ARM-based systems with legacy devices"

This reverts commit c7070619.

This has been shown to regress on some ARM systems:

by forcing on DMA API usage for ARM systems, we have inadvertently
kicked open a hornets' nest in terms of cache-coherency. Namely that
unless the virtio device is explicitly described as capable of coherent
DMA by firmware, the DMA APIs on ARM and other DT-based platforms will
assume it is non-coherent. This turns out to cause a big problem for the
likes of QEMU and kvmtool, which generate virtio-mmio devices in their
guest DTs but neglect to add the often-overlooked "dma-coherent"
property; as a result, we end up with the guest making non-cacheable
accesses to the vring, the host doing so cacheably, both talking past
each other and things going horribly wrong.

We are working on a safer work-around.
