This doesn't work. Even in iommu-dma, the streaming API still expects to
work on physically-contiguous memory that could have been passed to
dma_map_single() in the first place. As-is, this will invalidate
transfer_buffer_length bytes from the start of the *first* physical
page, and thus destroy random other data if lines from subsequent
unrelated pages are dirty in caches.
The only feasible way to do a DMA sync on disjoint pages in a single
call is with a scatterlist.
