Thanks Linus.

Just to make folks aware on the thread, after some more inputs and discussion
at connect, looks like we need to make this work for other arch's too. So am
going to move dma_pfn_offset from archdata to device_dma_parameters  so that
arch code as well as driver code should be able to access/modify the pfn
offset.
