Yes, I know this problem, but I don't think the case you describe is a serious
limitation (there are more interesting cases, though): dma_map_single() etc
will create additional *bus* addresses for a physical address, not additional
virtual addresses.
dma_alloc_coherent should allocate memory that is not also mapped cached,
which is what I thought we do correctly.
