dma mappings can be much larger than a single page.  For the block
world take a look at __blk_segment_map_sg which does the merging
of contiguous pages into a single SG segment.  You'd have to override
BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE to prevent this from happening in your supported
architectures for the block layer.
