that the mapping code will work correctly on all dma implementations without
any dependency on the specifics of the underlying implementation. Using the
returned address without checking for errors could result in failures ranging
from panics to silent data corruption. Couple of example of incorrect ways to
check for errors that make assumptions about the underlying dma implementation
are as follows and these are applicable to dma_map_page() as well.
