What do you mean "sometimes not trivial" ? The DMA does nothing more
than virt_to_phys(virt) to get the physical address. It's _that_ simple.

If virt_to_phys(virt) is likely to fail, there's protection in the DMA API
to BUG_ON() in that case.

So when we get coherent DMA, you won't care that the DMA API functions
start doing nothing with caches?
