pci_map/unmap alias to dma_unmap/map when called on the underlying struct
device embedded in pci_device (like for platform drivers). Dunno whether
it's worth to track a pointer to the struct device directly and always
call dma_unmap/map.

Just drive-by comment since I'm interested in how you solve this - i915
has similar fun with buffer sharing and coherent and non-coherent
platforms. Although we don't have fun with pci and non-pci based
platforms.
