I thought about augmenting debug_dma_map_page() but that has another
problem where those checks are done after the page has been mapped. The
kernel can oops when it's operating on the incorrect page so we need to
check things before calling the dma ops.
So I split that check up into pre_map and post_map parts but then that
seemed like overkill just to check for this vmalloc problem. Here's the
patch if you're interested. I can make it a little nicer if you think
it's also worthwhile.
