It won't work if it's wrong. It'll BUG_ON, and I'll be assigned to help
fix it, like what's happened here (on a private bugzilla).

The "new" interface for all the other architectures is the same as the
old one we've been using for the last 5 years.

I welcome x86 maintainer feedback to confirm virtual and DMA addresses
have the same offset at 4k alignment, but I have to insist we don't
break my currently working hardware to force their attention.
