So this is when we cross those 2MB contingous swatch of buffers.
Wouldn't we get the same problem with the 'map_page' call? If the
driver tried to map say a 4MB DMA region?

What if this check was done in the routines that provide the
software static buffers and there try to provide a nice
DMA contingous swatch of pages?
