This is a misuse of the DMA API, you must call dma_map_single after
the memory is set by the CPU, not before.

The fast reg varient is using coherent allocations, which is OK..

It's fine as long as you dma_sync_*_for_{cpu,device} in the right
places, which is what a lot of drivers do for longer held allocations.

OK. I'll fix that.

Thanks.
