Note that as-is this breaks the XSK buffer pool, which unfortunately

Jesper and XDP gang: this should not regress any performance as
the dma-direct calls are now inlined into the out of line DMA mapping
calls.  But if you can verify the performance numbers that would be
greatly appreciated.
From a superficial review of the patches, they look okay to me. I don't
have time to run a performance benchmark (before I go on vacation).

I hoped Björn could test/benchmark this(?), given (as mentioned) this
also affect XSK / AF_XDP performance.
