Surely this breaks the build when CONFIG_DMA_VS_CPU_DEBUG=n?
lib/dma-debug.c is missing the necessary "#ifdef
CONFIG_DMA_VS_CPU_DEBUG"s.

Do we really need this config setting anyway? What goes bad if we
permanently enable this subfeature when dma debugging is enabled?

Some documentation for the fields would be nice. offset of what
relative to what, in what units?

A brief design overview would be useful. What goes in tree, how is it
indexed, when and why do we add/remove/test items, etc.

The export isn't needed for mm/memory.c
