+ Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
+ With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
+ drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
+ were never allocated.
+ This option causes a performance degredation. Use only if you want to
+ debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.
