The four functions above are just like the counterpart functions

The interpretation of DMA attributes is architecture-specific, and
each attribute should be documented in Documentation/DMA-attributes.txt.

without the _attrs suffix. As a result dma_map_single_attrs()
can generally replace dma_map_single(), etc.
