Ummm...damn, that's a tricky one. On 8xx, the intention is to use
the DMA address for stuffing into the CPM. The virt_to_* functions
are on their way out (on all platforms), and everyone should use the
DMA address returned by the consistent_alloc function. I guess if you
have a 8xx/PCI that doesn't map PCI masters to system memory at zero,
you are kind of hosed at the moment........
