Subject[PATCH 3/3] dma-mapping: better document dma_addr_t and DMA_MAPPING_ERROR
Date
Move the comment documenting dma_addr_t away from the dma_map_ops
definition which isn't very related to it, and toward DMA_MAPPING_ERROR,
which is somewhat related. Add a little blurb about DMA_MAPPING_ERROR
as well.
