Good question. Yes, maybe some drivers does not need or want to override
this but a use case is to provide a more optimized version of the
map_sg/unmap_sg functions. For example a very simple way to optimize
this would be to have an implementation that unmaps everything and then
does a TLB invalidate instead of doing a TLB invalidate after every
single unmap (which happens with the default implementation if your
driver does TLB invalidate after unmapping).

This was my original proposal but after some discussion on the list we
ended up with what we have now.
