Hi Tianyu,

This patch (and this patch series) unconditionally adds code for dealing with DMA addresses for all VMs, including non-isolation VMs.

Does this add performance penalty for VMs that don't require isolation?


Hi Long:
	scsi_dma_map() in the traditional VM just save sg->offset to
sg->dma_address and no data copy because swiotlb bounce buffer code
doesn't work. The data copy only takes place in the Isolation VM and
swiotlb_force is set. So there is no additional overhead in the traditional VM.

Thanks.
