No, you must have page+offset because in the future the
"address" field of scatterlist is going to disappear
and _ONLY_ page+offset will be used.

Do not hack around it, just fix your scatterlist definition instead.
I'm trying to push a Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt update to Linus
which talks about this explicitly and requires your port to have those
fields.
