Yes.

By wrappers you mean just the macros or also the inline functions?

If we agree to go with the cio DMA pool instead of using DMA API
facilities for allocation (dma_alloc_coherent or maybe a per ccw-device
dma_pool) I think I could just use cio_dma_zalloc() directly if you like.

I was quite insecure about how this gen_pool idea is going to be received
here. That's why I decided to keep the dma_alloc_coherent() version in
for the RFC.

If you prefer I can squash patches #7 #9 #10 and #11 together and
pull #8 forward. Would you prefer that?

Good catch! 

I could take care of it in __vc_dma_free().

void cio_dma_free(void *cpu_addr, size_t size) {
 +	if (!cpu_addr)
 +		return;

also seems to me like a good idea right now.

Right the move was supposed to take place in patch #2. Not sure how
I ended up with this. Maybe a messed up rebase.
