Cong Wang reported dma debug warnings with virtio-vsock
and proposed a patch, see:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

however, the issue is more widespread.
This is an attempt to fix it systematically.
Note: i2c and gio might also be affected, I am still looking
into it. Help from maintainers welcome.

Early RFC, compile tested only. Sending for early feedback/flames.
Cursor/claude used liberally mostly for refactoring, and english.

DMA maintainers, could you please confirm the DMA core changes
are ok with you?

Thanks!
