Hi Fredrik,

Thanks very much for taking the time to look into this. Please see
comments inline.

By any chance, does this address looks like the dma_addr that the device
should target?

Actually, I think I'm misusing genalloc and also it appears that i need
to add a mapping on the phys address. So my plan is to change the
"unsigned long virt" to be the void * returned by the mapping operation
and the phys_addr_t be the dma_addr_t. I'll return with a patch.

Regarding the usage of unsigned long in genalloc, yeah seems a bit
strange but by looking at other users in the kernel it appears that
that's the design.
