No, I mean just call dma_alloc_attrs() normally *without* adding the 
DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING flag. That flag means "I never ever want to 
make CPU accesses to this buffer from the kernel" - that is clearly not 
the case for your code, so it is utterly nonsensical to still pass the 
flag but try to hack around it later.
