Hi Greg,

I wasn't aware of this policy.  I put it in 'struct device' because
just like the existing dma_pfn_offset; it seemed to be the only way to
pull this off.  I'll certainly follow any ideas on alternative
strategies from Christoph et al.

Just wanted to minimize the number of lines I've added to device.h, no
other reason.

Thanks,
Jim
