And the problem is that ttm_dma->dma_address is NULL, right? Mhm, I 
don't see how that can happen since nouveau is using ttm_sg_tt_init().

Apart from that what nouveau does here is rather questionable since you 
need a coherent architecture for most things anyway, but that's not what 
we are trying to fix here.

Can you try to narrow down if ttm_sg_tt_init is called before calling 
this function for the tt object in question?

Thanks,
Christian.
