My preference as well, but your example may not be correct.

I think this better:

         1         2         3         4         5         6         7         8
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

	dma_unmap_page(&adapter->pdev->dev, dma_unmap_addr(rx_page_info, bus),
		       adapter->big_page_size, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);

maximally fill to 80 cols, then wrap with maximal tabs using spaces
if necessary to align args after opening parenthesis.
In this case, 2 tabs, 7 spaces.

It is your code though, do what you think best.
