Well, yes, we could convert them, but we can leave them as they are
because these are assertions that the DMA mapping API guarantees. If
this breaks, it's a bug in the DMA mapping code.

In contrast, if it fails to map, it's not a bug in the code, it's just
running out of memory or IO space or whatever.

It's here:
