Why not just store an array index for the buffer info?
That would save you having to regenerate kernel virtual
addresses from limited info.

Or realise that the low bits (page offset) of the dma address
and kernel virtual address (and kernel physical for that matter)
will always match. 50 bits might be enough for a kernel virtual address.
