Yes right. Since those are carveouts, there is no valid pageframe,
so the check fails.

The coherency is not dropped here. dma_map/unmap used
makes the buffer coherent before passing it to
dmaengine. Previously it was not required.
I can add this in description if its not clear.

Ha, wrong. This should have been in a separate patch. This was to fix a
initialization issue in dma mode. Sorry, should not have been here, will
move it to out.
