struct sg_table is a common structure used for describing a memory buffer. It consists of a scatterlist with memory pages and DMA addresses (sgl entry), as well as the number of scatterlist entries: CPU pages (orig_nents entry) and DMA mapped pages (nents entry). It turned out that it was a common mistake to misuse nents and orig_nents entries, calling mapping functions with a wrong number of entries. To avoid such issues, lets introduce a common wrapper operating directly on the struct sg_table objects, which take care of the proper use of the nents and orig_nents entries.
