Not a good idea. There are two ways that a DMA address gets
provided to the lower level code: (a) coherent buffer allocation,
as above, and (b) mapping done by driver, and re-used. The former
doesn't need dma_sync_single(). The latter does.

Comment, please -- folk will mostly be reading the code, not the
patch comments. Just a brief comment will suffice.
