The DMA API works like this:

- The CPU owns the page or buffer and can access it.
- You map the page or buffer.
- The device owns the page or buffer; the CPU must explicitly access it.
- You unmap the page or buffer.
- The CPU again owns the page/buffer and can access it.

Please respect the DMA API rules.

So.  Once dma_map_page() has returned, you must not kmap() or otherwise
access the data contained in that page until after you have unmapped it.
