Please can we not do it this way, that was the old pci_map_single et al
which we've just spent quite a bit of time converting to
dma_map_single. It might not matter to the PCI centric people, but the
generic DMA API was a wonderful simplification to the rest of us.
Can we start iomap off on the right foot and simply do dma_iomap (or
dev_iomap since dma_ may end up to be confusing), taking a struct device
as an argument and let the platform, which knows where the buses are,
map this to the correct operations?
