Well, there's no special "linux address". The DMA controller takes
a physical address. I think you are specifically asking about
configuring the source address register when doing a Mem->PCI
transfer. In that case, if you are using lowmem system memory as
the source address, then virt_to_phys will generate the correct
physical system memory address.
