I'd prefer not to do this: virt_to_bus() is deprecated for good reasons,
and I'd rather see the drivers fixed to use dma-mapping.h correctly.

One problem with your patch is that not all architectures include
asm-generic/io.h, so it likely breaks allmodconfig builds on architectures
that don't use that file and don't provide virt_to_bus() either.
