    maybe even hide the dma_map_direct inside it.
Call dma_map_direct() from arch_dma_map_page_direct() if 
arch_dma_map_page_direct() is defined? Seems suboptimal as it is going to 
be bypass=true in most cases and we save one call by avoiding calling 
arch_dma_map_page_direct(). Unless I missed something?
C does not even evaluate the right hand side of a || expression if the
left hand evaluates to true.
