Is this for 3.15? If not, don't you think Santosh's patches will be
ready for 3.16. I need to take another look, but I'm pretty much happy
with them. My only issue really is whether we want to spread the use
of dma-coherent. Will did call my cute little property a hack, but I
have yet to see anything better.
