The current use of these macros works well when the conversion is
entirely linear. In this case, we can be assured that the following
holds true:
__va(p + s) - s = __va(p)
However, this is not always the case, especially when there is a
non-linear conversion (eg, when there is a 3.5GB hole in memory.)
In this case, if 's' is the size of the region (eg, PAGE_SIZE) and
'p' is the final page, the above is most definitely not true.
So, we must ensure that __va() and __pa() are only used with valid
kernel direct mapped RAM addresses. This patch tweaks the code
to achieve this.

Rename ARM's struct vm_region so that I can introduce my own global version
for NOMMU. It's feasible that the ARM version may wish to use my global one
instead.
The NOMMU vm_region struct defines areas of the physical memory map that are
under mmap. This may include chunks of RAM or regions of memory mapped
devices, such as flash. It is also used to retain copies of file content so
that shareable private memory mappings of files can be made. As such, it may
be compatible with what is described in the banner comment for ARM's vm_region
struct.

As per the dma_unmap_* calls, we don't touch the cache when a DMA
buffer transitions from device to CPU ownership. Presently, no
problems have been identified with speculative cache prefetching
which in itself is a new feature in later architectures. We may
have to revisit the DMA API later for these architectures anyway.

No point having two of these; dma_map_page() can do all the work
for us.
