It would be better to use the core DMA mapping code rather than open
coding.  This code won't work for vmalloc()ed addresses, or physically
non-contiguous addresses unless there's an IOMMU fixing things up.

Ah, ok.  So I just need a to setup the scatter gather page list and then do a
dma_map_sg.  I'll resend once I have this in place.

Note that DMA from vmalloc'd memory is non-coherent on some platforms,
even if you use the DMA API.

Thankfully, that isn't the case on this platform.  As as the QUP controller is
only on Qualcomm chipsets, we don't have to worry about it being used on other
platforms.
