Yep, but OTOH, the arch code doesn't provide a proper standard way to
mmap the pages allocated via dma_alloc_coherent().  That's the missing
piece, especially on mips and sparc.  ARM has already one.

My wish is implementing dma_mmap_coherent() on all architectures, so
that the driver can use it safely without messy ifdefs.
