Hell no.  This is a detail of the platform DMA direct implementation.
Drivers have no business looking at this flag, and virtio finally needs
to be fixed to use the DMA API properly for everything but legacy devices.

No amount of desparate hacks is going to fix that fundamental problem,
and I'm starting to get really sick and tired of all the crap patches
published in this area.
