+Synchronise a single contiguous or scatter/gather mapping for the cpu
+and device. With the sync_sg API, all the parameters must be the same
+as those passed into the single mapping API. With the sync_single API,
+you can use dma_handle and size parameters that aren't identical to
+those passed into the single mapping API to do a partial sync.
+
+Notes: You must do this:
+
+- Before reading values that have been written by DMA from the device
+ (use the DMA_FROM_DEVICE direction)
+- After writing values that will be written to the device using DMA
+ (use the DMA_TO_DEVICE) direction
+- before *and* after handing memory to the device if the memory is
+ DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
+
+See also dma_map_single().
