This makes me rather uneasy - I can well imagine a device sharing the
CPU physical address map of external system memory, but having its own
view of its local coherent memory such that pfn_base != device_base
still. I know for a fact we've had internal FPGA tiles set up that way,
although whether it was entirely intentional is another matter... ;)

In that situation, setting dev->dma_pfn_offset like this would break
streaming DMA for such devices. Could we not keep the pool-specific
offset and the device-specific offset independent, apply whichever is
non-zero, and scream if both are set?
