Summary:
Users of the pci_dma_sync_single_* api allow users to sync address ranges within
the range of a mapped entry (i.e. you can dma map address X to dma_addr_t A and
then pci_dma_sync_single on dma_addr_t A+1.  The dma-debug library however
assume dma syncs will always occur using the base address of a mapped region,
and uses that assumption to find entries in its hash table.  Since thats often
(but not always the case), the dma debug library can give us false errors about
missing entries, which are reported as syncing of memory not allocated by the
driver.  This was noted in the cxgb3 driver as this error:
