The current driver code performs 512 DMA mappns of a bunch of

While this patch wasn't useful in the current cell implementation of pci_map_single
it sounds like people are going to be making changes to that sometime. In light of
that new information (new to me anyway) this should probably go in after all. Sorry
for causing trouble.
