We aren't really faking.  The table is real, we are just slightly abusing the
sg_dma_address() which makes this comment a bit misleading. Instead I would
probably say something like:

/* dma_sync_sg_* flushes pages using sg_dma_address() so point it at the
 * physical page for the right behavior */

Or something like that.

I'm wondering - wouldn't we want to do this association for cached buffers to so
we could sync them correctly in cpu_prep and cpu_fini?  Maybe it wouldn't hurt
to put this association in the main path (obviously the sync should stay inside
the conditional for uncached buffers).
