I'm sure we can assume that sg_dma_map is going to give us back
page-aligned mappings, because we only asked for page aligned mappings.

I'm just making suggestions that follow what is describeed in
DMA-API-HOWTO.txt here.  Following the documentation seems like a good
idea unless there's a reason not to.

Looking at the type of the field being read, it looked like a page count
to me, but I was unsure and the header didn't clarify.  Looking again,
it must be bytes, so shifting would be necessary.
