After some experimentation, the diagnostics provided by CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG
have shown up problems in the IOP ADMA self-tests (inconsistencies between
map and unmap of DMA pages) and disabling these self-tests removes the
DMA API use warnings and prevents the bad page state bug from triggering
when init runs.
