What if dma_mmu_remap_num were negative - that condition is not checked
and will also result in an overflow of the array. If we're being fussy
enough to bounds check, we ought to do it properly.

So, I think a better solution would be to make dma_mmu_remap_num an
unsigned int, and then to use:

	if (dma_mmu_remap_num >= ARRAY_SIZE(dma_mmu_remap)) {
		...
	}

which is really the condition we're after here.
