It turns out this check is too restrictive. The DMA API doesn't require a 1:1 relation between mapping and sync. It's permissible to map a big chunk and then managing it as a number of buffers that are synced individually. This is currently the case with the Designware MAC driver and having this check here leads to a copious amount of false positives. A proper check would involve keeping account of every individual cache line and assigning it either a device or CPU owned flag in the common code. We'll implement this on top of KASAN in the follow-up commit, so let's revert commit 1ad4b32702ddc3b801e8cd35441d2a9b3a41bb19 first to have a clean slate.
