I like that.  It doesn't fix my idealogical gripe about maxsize being a
constraint vs. an allocation specifier.
But I'm not sure that matters if it can get rid of most/all of the
practical ramifications of the problem.  Plus it kills off a bunch of other
cruft too.

Suggestion, maybe dumb: What if you added a flex array of segments at the
end of struct bus_dmamem and a maxsegs argument in the args struct to allow
multi-seg allocations?
That would fix what might be the only real impediment to using this pretty
much anywhere.
