AFAICS from a look through drivers/gpu/ only 3 drivers consider the 
actual value of what dma_map_sg() returns - others only handle the 
failure case of 0, and some don't check it at all - and of those it's 
only amdgpu and radeon barfing on it being different from nents (vmwgfx 
appears to just stash it to use slightly incorrectly later).

But this patch bears no intention of making any fundamental change to 
the existing behaviour of this particular driver, it simply permits said 
behaviour to work at all on more systems than it currently does. I would 
consider that entirely orthogonal to future TTM-wide development :/
