A month now with no answer...

Perhaps someone who has this hardware can find out empirically for us, as
follows (mm folks is this right?):

page = virt_to_page(address);
if (!page)
   fail closed...
if (page_zone(page) == ZONE_DMA || page_zone(page) == ZONE_DMA32)
	this is a DMA buffer
else
	not DMA!

Note that when request_firmware_into_buf() was being reviewed Mimi had asked back
in 2016 [0] that if a DMA buffer was going to be used READING_FIRMWARE_DMA should be
used otherwise READING_FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER was fine.

If it is a DMA buffer *now*, why / how did this change?
