//! User-space DMA memory: `dma_alloc` / `dma_free`. A driver that programs a
//! bus-mastering engine needs a descriptor ring the device can read — memory that is
//! physically contiguous, at a physical address the driver knows, uncacheable, and
//! pinned. `mmap` gives none of those; this does. Pair it with the barriers in
//! `/lib/mmio` (fill the ring, `wmb()`, ring the doorbell). See docs/driver-model.md.
