Documentation: remove the PCI DMA API description in DMA-API.txt

- remove the PCI DMA API description in DMA-API.txt
- remove the descriptions of dma_unmap macros since
  PCI-DMA-mapping.txt has the same description.

-Part Ie - Optimizing Unmap State Space Consumption
---------------------------------
-
-On some platforms, dma_unmap_{single,page}() is simply a nop.
-Therefore, keeping track of the mapping address and length is a waste
-of space. Instead of filling your drivers up with ifdefs and the like
-to "work around" this (which would defeat the whole purpose of a
-portable API) the following facilities are provided.
-
-Actually, instead of describing the macros one by one, we'll
-transform some example code.
-
-1) Use DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_{ADDR,LEN} in state saving structures.
-   Example, before:
-
-	struct ring_state {
-		struct sk_buff *skb;
-		dma_addr_t mapping;
-		__u32 len;
-	};
-
-   after:
-
-	struct ring_state {
-		struct sk_buff *skb;
-		DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(mapping);
-		DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_LEN(len);
-	};
-
-2) Use dma_unmap_{addr,len}_set to set these values.
-   Example, before:
-
-	ringp->mapping = FOO;
-	ringp->len = BAR;
-
-   after:
-
-	dma_unmap_addr_set(ringp, mapping, FOO);
-	dma_unmap_len_set(ringp, len, BAR);
-
-3) Use dma_unmap_{addr,len} to access these values.
-   Example, before:
-
-	dma_unmap_single(dev, ringp->mapping, ringp->len,
-			 DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
-
-   after:
-
-	dma_unmap_single(dev,
-			 dma_unmap_addr(ringp, mapping),
-			 dma_unmap_len(ringp, len),
-			 DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
-
-It really should be self-explanatory.  We treat the ADDR and LEN
-separately, because it is possible for an implementation to only
-need the address in order to perform the unmap operation.
