As mentioned before you'll also need to enforce you hit the nbufs = 1
case for these. In fact most callers should simply switch to a plain
dma_zalloc_coherent call without all these wrappers. If we have a case
where we really want multiple buffers that don't have to be contiguous
(maybe the MTT case) I'd rather opencode that instead of building this
confusing interface on top of it.
