I thought we ended up with always doing that?

Bounce buffers may or may not be used, so if the page offset
must be zero for bounce buffers, they must be zero for the
original DMA request. I see no value in re-aligning the DMA
request to a page boundary when bounce buffers are used, but
it is required in some cases to not realign. Hence, why not
always (and unconditionally) preserve the alignment?
