This should be cleaned up some more:

	oaddr = (unsigned long)(page_address(page) + offset);
	ret = bus_addr | (oaddr & ~IO_PAGE_MASK);

	base_paddr = __pa(oaddr & IO_PAGE_MASK);

Makes no sense to phys_to_virt() then __pa() on that result. Drop oaddr.

Then I would copy and paste the comment from mips about DMA_ATTR_MMIO

Same remarks here

iounit_get_area() does not seem to need vaddr:

        npages = ((vaddr & ~PAGE_MASK) + size + (PAGE_SIZE-1)) >> PAGE_SHIFT;

~PAGE_MASK is page_offset()

	iopte = MKIOPTE(__pa(vaddr & PAGE_MASK));

__pa(phys_to_virt(pa)) again:
  iopte = MKIOPTE(PAGE_ALIGN(pa));

	vaddr = IOUNIT_DMA_BASE + (scan << PAGE_SHIFT) + (vaddr & ~PAGE_MASK);

page_offset, then it replaces vaddr.

So I'd tidy this too.

At least ARM32 has code that seems to say these assumptions are not
always true.. Oh well.
