Hmm, do you have a link? The failure I see looks to be more probe 
related? Once we do unplug(), outside the special evict all we do here 
we should pretty much not need dma-maps?

What about moving the evict_all into a well placed devm action during 
probe? Basically at the point at which we think it is reasonable to get 
rid of the dma-maps? Or is that what you mean below?
