Right, this needs a much tighter definition. "DMA address happens to be 
a valid physical address" is true of various IOMMU setups too, but I 
can't believe it's meaningful in such cases.

If what you actually want is "DMA is direct or SWIOTLB" - i.e. "DMA 
address is physical address of DMA data (not necessarily the original 
buffer)" - wouldn't dma_is_direct() suffice?
