AFAICS, hardware wants dma_address of that puppy passed to it. Which might
be a solution of this problem, if that address is not clobbered and can
be read back from where we'd stored it. But that's a question for hardware
folks - does the value of cmdp->u.{raw,raw64}.sense_data survive until we
get to unmapping stuff in gdth_sync_event()?
In any case, we really should check for failure of pci_map_...() and be
more careful with checking if two areas need to be unmapped...
