Why are map/unmap common code for client drivers? I've mentioned that
some client driver may just call dma sync function before flush, so it
does not map for every flush. Frequently map/unmap has some drawback:

1. Waste CPU resource: this also waste power.
2. Risk of mapping fail: to reduce this risk, client driver could map at
initialization.

I think reducing these drawback is more important than making client
driver simple.
