I've searched netdev and I cannot find any reports from others but this
function introduces a clang warning:

assign it uninitialized here.

I don't know if there should be a new label that excludes that
assignment for those particular gotos or if new_dma_addr should
be initialized to something at the top. Please take a look at
addressing this when you get a chance.
