Falcon DMA transfers were using cumbersome address arithmetic and explicit bounds checks to ensure a requested transfer is valid. This series replaces it with an I/O projection which, if successful, carries the same bounds guarantees and does not require performing operations on DMA addresses. The first patch removes a redundant check that is covered by the register's `try_with_...` family of methods. The second patch renames `dma_handle` to `dma_address` throughout the tree after comments received on v1. nova-core is the only user at the moment, so the renaming remains contained. Patch 3 switches to I/O projections in the Falcon code, the original motivation for this series. This series is based on drm-rust-next.
