Subject: [RFC v2 2/2] base: dma-mapping: Postpone page_to_pfn() on mmap()

On SH4 architecture, with SPARSEMEM memory model, translating page to
pfn hangs the CPU. Post-pone translation to pfn after
dma_mmap_from_dev_coherent() function call as it succeeds and make page
translation not necessary.

This patch was suggested by Laurent Pinchart and he's working to submit
a proper fix mainline. Not sending for inclusion at the moment.
