The DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING stuff is still broken and pointless, so 
I'd expect to see this solution replacing it, not being added alongside. 
It's just silly to say pass the "I don't need a CPU mapping" flag, then 
manually open-code the same CPU mapping you would have got if you 
hadn't, in a way that only works at all when a cacheable alias exists 
anyway.

Thanks,
Robin.
