    Revert "dc395x: Fix support for highmem"
    
    It introduces a repeatable oops in the driver, which is a bigger problem
    than the patch tries to solve. From the original description:

        [PATCH] dc395x: Fix support for highmem
    
        From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>
    
        Removes the page_to_virt and maps sg lists dynamically.
        This makes the driver work with highmem pages.
