Since this new member will only be referenced in the last patch, perhaps
squash the two patches?

This could be a bit problematic when iommu is used. Since not all
platforms use dma_alloc_coherent to automatically set up the iommu, the
dma variable might hold the physical address instead of the device
address. Setting da may be a bit misleading, so this should probably be
documented.

Thanks,
Ido.
