Yes, lots of ways.  But you don't have to change the interface to
bus_dma to do it.  The bounce buffer size issue is largely an issue
of the implementation that drivers never see.  To be quite honest,
I implemented it the way I did because bounce buffers were SORELY
needed, and didn't have the time to implement them differently underneath.

I've actually improved the implementation of bounce buffers a little since
the original implementation.
