The above two changes are not good.

There is a large number of call sites for these functions, and they
never error-check the returned value. In effect, these functions must
always succeed, or else there is a programming error somewhere in the
driver (potentially the caller supplying incorrect inputs), or the
hardware is broken. If the address mapping fails, we cannot do anything;
we certainly cannot proceed with null pointers (either device zero
addresses or host null pointers). Therefore, I suggest

  if (Block == NULL) {
    CpuDeadLoop ();
  }

instead.

I'm not happy about this either, but at least this one doesn't directly
make things worse than they are.

Note the comment in the context:

  //
  // If Block == NULL, it means that the current memory isn't
  // in the host controller's pool. This is critical because
  // the caller has passed in a wrong memory point
  //
  ASSERT (Block != NULL);

It says "critical", so I'd prefer a CpuDeadLoop() here too...
