/*
* Eagerly map dataspace if used for DMA
*
* On some platforms, namely Fiasco.OC on ARMv7, the handling
* of page faults interferes with the caching attributes used
* for uncached DMA memory. See issue #452 for more details
* (https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/452). As a
* work-around for this issues, we eagerly map the whole
* dataspace before writing actual content to it.
