If the buf address is in PKMAP_BASE - PAGE_OFFSET-1 region (I have
observed that JFFS2 FS provides buffers in above region to MTD layer),
if CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is set then sg_set_buf() will throw a BUG_ON() as
virt_addr_is_valid() will return false. Is there a sane way to handle
buffers of PKMAP_BASE region with sg_*  APIs?
Or, is the function sg_alloc_table_from_buf() not to be used with such
buffers?
