Wait, this seems broken for non-coherent devices - in that case we need 
to return a non-cacheable address, but we can't simply fall through into 
the remapping path below in GFP_ATOMIC context. That's why we need the 
atomic pool concept in the first place :/

Unless I've overlooked something, we're still using the regular 
cacheable linear map address of the dma_io_tlb_mem buffer, no?
