Another thought that's hit me slightly late; depending on CONFIG_64BIT 
also means that we've got a whole 4 bytes of padding in struct 
scatterlist to play with, so at that point maybe it's worth considering 
carrying new extra DMA mapping properties in their own field(s). For 
instance it would also be really helpful to flag whether a segment is 
bounce-buffered or not.
