On SH4 architecture, with SPARSEMEM memory model, translating page to

translation not necessary.

This patch was suggested by Laurent Pinchart and he's working to submit
a proper fix mainline. Not sending for inclusion at the moment.

Y'know, I think this patch does have some merit by itself - until we know that cpu_addr *doesn't* represent some device-private memory which is not guaranteed to be backed by a struct page, calling virt_to_page() on it is arguably semantically incorrect, even if it might happen to be benign in most cases.

Robin.
