Please don't start renaming anything here. If we want to do this, let's
have a separate mail thread for coloring the bike shed.

I don't have strong feelings about these macros. They just seemed not
needed in general. But I we want to add them here, I 'd like to propose
a few small changes.
Again, please add an offset parameter for the map's pointer.
Then I'd call them either dma_buf_map_rd/dma_buf_map_wr for read/write
OR dma_buf_map_ld/dma_buf_map_st for load/store. They should take a C
type. Something like this
dma_buf_map_wr(map, offset, int32, 0x01234);
val = dam_buf_map_rd(map, offset, int32);
Hopefully, that's flexible enough for all users. On top of that, you can
build additional helpers like dma_buf_map_rd_field() and
dma_buf_map_wr_field().
Ok?
