I have a separate routine now for scanning for entries with map error 
flag set and I also have a new err_printk() call to print the entry from 
dma_debug_device_change() right after device_dma_allocations() check and 
corresponding err_printk(). Snippet of the diff below. Only one warning 
gets printed. Looking at err_printk(): if (!show_all_errors && 
show_num_errors > 0) conditional, it appears that is the way it is 
supposed to work, unless I am missing something

One way to not miss the second warning is to just generate just a 
pr_err() for the mapping error instead of err_printk(). Leaked entries 
is a bigger problem that should really be shown and the same entry might 
not have the map error flag set. Thoughts?
