So you are assuming a random virtual device with no dma backing bus is
allowed to do dma operations? This feels wrong and should be fixed
somewhere so that the bus involved (you do have hardware here), is
properly exposed.
Please work with Christoph and others to solve this, don't try to route
around the issue. Your patches are assuming that you have a device
pointer anyway, and that's on a bus, so it does have access somehow,
right?

As you know, we can never take apis without a real user for them,
because obviously those apis could be instantly removed from the system
because no one is using them. We also do not know that the api is even
correct at all, without being able to see all of the users.
So make this a larger patch set please. What would you do if you had to
review this without any prior information? Make it easy for reviewers
please.

See above, where are you getting this random device pointer from?
Eventually it does point to something on a bus with DMA access, right?
So why not use the right pointer for that type of device?
Or are you going to have devices of different types using this api? If
so, where? Again, this is hard to review without any real users.

Again, prove that this is needed, otherwise do not use it.
