Without an IOMMU this is easy since the phys_addr_t and dma_addr_t are 
the same and no special care is needed. However if you have a IOMMU you 
need to map the DMA slave phys_addr_t to a dma_addr_t using something 
like this. Is it not very similar to dma_map_single() where one maps 
processor virtual memory (instead if MMIO) so that it can be used with 
DMA slaves?
It's similar, but I don't think this actually works as a general case
as there are quite a few places that expect to be able to have a
struct page for a physical address.  We'd at least need a very careful
audit for that case.
