I wonder whether anyone has looked at what exynos is doing with this.

                start_addr = buf->dma_addr;
                while (i < nr_pages) {
                        buf->pages[i] = phys_to_page(start_addr);
                        start_addr += PAGE_SIZE;
                        i++;
                }

There is no guarantee that DMA addresses are the same as physical addresses
in the kernel, so this is a layering violation.  If you want to do this,
then a better way to do this on ARM would be:

                        buf->pages[i] = pfn_to_page(dma_to_pfn(dev, 
start_addr));

The difference here is that dma_to_pfn() knows how to convert a dma_addr_t
to a PFN which can then be converted to a struct page (provided it is
backed by kernel managed system memory.)
