The only user of BUS_DMA_KEEP_PG_OFFSET in the system is USB.  If the
flag didn't exist, we could do bouncing with a whole lot more
efficiency, at least in the ARM world.  I wonder if it would be possible
to just eliminate the flag (and of course, USB's need for it, which I
fully admit I don't understand even a little bit).
