Agreed.

Applied patches 1-7 to my dma-mapping-next branch. Let me know if one 
needs a stable branch with it.

Leon, it would be great if You could also prepare an incremental patch 
adding map_phys callback to the dma_maps_ops, so the individual 
arch-specific dma-mapping providers can be then converted (or simplified 
in many cases) too.
