This debug interface debug_dma_dump_map_errors() is enabled only when
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled, however I agree that debugfs is a
better choice than logging to syslog. I created debugfs interfaces for
these error counts at system level. Are recommending the same approach
for per device counts as well?
