Hi Everyone,

As part of my effort to enable P2P DMA transactions with PCI cards,
we've identified the need to be able to safely put IO memory into
scatterlists (and eventually other spots). This probably involves a
conversion from struct page to pfn_t but that migration is a ways off
and those decisions are yet to be made.

As an initial step in that direction, I've started cleaning up some of the
scatterlist code by trying to carve out a better defined layer between it
and it's users. The longer term goal would be to remove sg_page or replace
it with something that can potentially fail.

This patchset is the first step in that effort. I've introduced
a common function to map scatterlist memory and converted all the common
kmap(sg_page()) cases. This removes about 66 sg_page calls (of ~331).

Seeing this is a fairly large cleanup set that touches a wide swath of
the kernel I have limited the people I've sent this to. I'd suggest we look
toward merging the first patch and then I can send the individual subsystem
patches on to their respective maintainers and get them merged
independantly. (This is to avoid the conflicts I created with my last
cleanup set... Sorry) Though, I'm certainly open to other suggestions to get
it merged.

The patchset is based on v4.11-rc6 and can be found in the sg_map
branch from this git tree:

Thanks,

Logan
