This looks like it wouldn't scale to handle the Sparc systems. There
we want to make more translation steps from DVMA addresses to physical
in DMA controller and IOMMU and only in the final stage to void *. To
handle this, probably there should be an opaque parameter and some way
to register the translation function. Otherwise the API looks OK.
