There seems to be one subtle issue with map/unmap code.
While investigating problems on ARC I added instrumentation as below:

In case of MMC/DW_MCI (AKA DesignWare MobileStorage controller) that's an execution flow:
1) __dw_mci_start_request()
2) dw_mci_pre_dma_transfer()
3) dma_map_sg(..., mmc_get_dma_dir(data))
Note mmc_get_dma_dir() is just "data->flags & MMC_DATA_WRITE ? DMA_TO_DEVICE : DMA_FROM_DEVICE".
I.e. if we're preparing for sending data dma_noncoherent_map_sg() will have DMA_TO_DEVICE which
is quite OK for passing to dma_noncoherent_sync_sg_for_device() but in case of reading we'll have
DMA_FROM_DEVICE which we'll pass to dma_noncoherent_sync_sg_for_device() in dma_noncoherent_map_sg().
I'd say this is not entirely correct because IMHO arch_sync_dma_for_cpu() is supposed to only be used
in case of DMA_FROM_DEVICE and arch_sync_dma_for_device() only in case of DMA_TO_DEVICE.

The same is for unmap functions.
My guess is we need to respect direction in map/unmap functions and use
either dma_noncoherent_sync_single_for_cpu(..., DMA_FROM_DEVICE) or
dma_noncoherent_sync_single_for_device(...,DMA_TO_DEVICE).

But the real fix of my problem is:

You seem to lost an offset in the page so if we happen to have a buffer not aligned to
a page boundary then we were obviously corrupting data outside our data :)
