I need to call dma_map_single on this address to convert it to a DMA
address. That's why.

And you can't do that with an object that's on the stack?


no, pasting from here.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt

under 'What memory is DMA'able?'

This rule also means that you may use neither kernel image addresses
(items in data/text/bss segments), nor module image addresses, nor
stack addresses for DMA.
