In principle I wouldn't mind, but I think this is going to conflict
quite badly with other changes in the dma-mapping tree (including
yours).  So I think we'll need a shared tree or I'll need to pull
in the whole series through the dma-mapping tree if there are not
other conflicts and the other maintainers are fine with it.
