No - we don't have a pfn to start with, and I'm not implementing an
interface which returns a struct page because, as was agreed on
linux-arch, such an interface is completely wrong.
The correct interface is dma_mmap_coherent().
I'm actually tempted to provide dma_mmap_coherent() and just let
everyone else whinge and moan that the API doesn't meet their
expectations.
BTW, ARM also needs the mark_pages and unmark_pages functions commented
out since they're also trying to use virt_to_page() on virtual addresses
that this function is not supposed to - except for the ISA DMA case
(and yes, we have ISA DMA-based sound cards as well.)
