From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@xxxxxxxxxx>
The interface for adapter mappings was designed with code in mind
that maps each address only once; let's document this.
Otherwise, duplicate mappings are added to the list, which makes
the code ineffective and uses up the limited amount of mapping
needlessly.
