The original motivation for iommu_map_sg() was to give IOMMU drivers the
chance to map an IOVA-contiguous scatterlist as efficiently as they
could. It turns out that there isn't really much driver-specific
business involved there, so now that the default implementation is
mandatory let's just improve that - the main thing we're after is to use
larger pages wherever possible, and as long as domain->pgsize_bitmap
reflects reality, iommu_map() can already do that in a generic way. All
we need to do is detect physically-contiguous segments and batch them
into a single map operation, since whatever we do here is transparent to
our caller and not bound by any segment-length restrictions on the list
itself.

Speaking of efficiency, there's really very little point in duplicating
the checks that iommu_map() is going to do anyway, so those get cleared
up in the process.

I like the idea, but I find the goto usage to jump back into the just
terminated loop highly confusing.  Would it be that much worse to simply
duplicate the iommu_map call?

Yeah, I fiddled around for ages trying to find the cleanest approach, but really there just doesn't seem to be one - I'd say the worst bit of that goto is the even-more-subtle need for the explicit break. FWIW the naive diff below is only actually +2 source lines, but the duplication does also carry through to the object code (at least for my arm64 GCC7 build). I might have a quick hack around to see if I can do any better with a do...while loop - of course what I *really* want is nested function definitions, but that might just be brain damage from doing too much MATLAB in the past ;)
