Maybe extend the comment here explaining that the check is primary here 
to make sure the msg->buf is valid for DMA and that the bounce buffer 
can't be used due to the special hardware feature? Else someone might be 
tempted to try and enable the bounce buffer feature in the future?

Nitpicking aside:
