No idea if we have one, but I would not be surprised if one shows
up on a system only built to run with 64k pages for example.

Either way the abstraction seems light and self-explanatory, so I see
now reason not to have it even if we assume it would always return
4k, especially as we'd also still need a flag at the dma_map_ops level
to indicate if segement merging is supported at all.
