As discussed:

If the virtio is premapped mode, the driver should manage the dma info by self.
So the virtio core should not store the dma info.
So we can release the memory used to store the dma info.

But if the desc_extra has not dma info, we face a new question,
it is hard to get the dma info of the desc with indirect flag.
For split mode, that is easy from desc, but for the packed mode,
it is hard to get the dma info from the desc. And for hardening
the dma unmap is saft, we should store the dma info of indirect
descs.

So I introduce the "structure the indirect desc table" to
allocate space to store dma info with the desc table.

On the other side, we mix the descs with indirect flag
with other descs together to share the unmap api. That
is complex. I found if we we distinguish the descs with
VRING_DESC_F_INDIRECT before unmap, thing will be clearer.

Because of the dma array is allocated in the find_vqs(),
so I introduce a new parameter to find_vqs().

Please review.

Thanks

Xuan Zhuo (17):
   virtio_ring: introduce vring_need_unmap_buffer
   virtio_ring: packed: remove double check of the unmap ops
   virtio_ring: packed: structure the indirect desc table
   virtio_ring: split: remove double check of the unmap ops
   virtio_ring: split: structure the indirect desc table
   virtio_ring: no store dma info when unmap is not needed
   virtio: find_vqs: pass struct instead of multi parameters
   virtio: vring_new_virtqueue(): pass struct instead of multi parameters
   virtio_ring: reuse the parameter struct of find_vqs()
   virtio: find_vqs: add new parameter premapped
   virtio_ring: export premapped to driver by struct virtqueue
   virtio_net: set premapped mode by find_vqs()
   virtio_ring: remove api of setting vq premapped
   virtio_ring: introduce dma map api for page
   virtio_net: unify the code for recycling the xmit ptr
   virtio_net: rename free_old_xmit_skbs to free_old_xmit
   virtio_net: sq support premapped mode

The above can not be cleanly merged into kernel 6.8-rc2.

Perhaps a base-commit is needed. About base-commit, please see the link
