This patch introduces functions which kmap the pages inside an sgl. Two
variants are provided: one if an offset is required and one if the
offset is zero. These functions replace a common pattern of
kmap(sg_page(sg)) that is used in about 50 places within the kernel.
The motivation for this work is to eventually safely support sgls that
contain io memory. In order for that to work, any access to the contents
of an iomem SGL will need to be done with iomemcpy or hit some warning.
(The exact details of how this will work have yet to be worked out.)
Having all the kmaps in one place is just a first step in that
direction. Additionally, seeing this helps cut down the users of sg_page,
it should make any effort to go to struct-page-less DMAs a little
easier (should that idea ever swing back into favour again).
A flags option is added to select between a regular or atomic mapping so
these functions can replace kmap(sg_page or kmap_atomic(sg_page.
Future work may expand this to have flags for using page_address or
vmap. Much further in the future, there may be a flag to allocate memory
and copy the data from/to iomem.
We also add the semantic that sg_map can fail to create a mapping,
despite the fact that the current code this is replacing is assumed to
never fail and the current version of these functions cannot fail. This
is to support iomem which either have to fail to create the mapping or
allocate memory as a bounce buffer which itself can fail.
Also, in terms of cleanup, a few of the existing kmap(sg_page) users
play things a bit loose in terms of whether they apply sg->offset
so using these helper functions should help avoid such issues.

+ *
+ * Description:
+ * Use this function to map a page in the scatterlist at the specified
+ * offset. sg->offset is already added for you. Note: the semantics of
+ * this function are that it may fail. Thus, its output should be checked
+ * with IS_ERR and PTR_ERR. Otherwise, a pointer to the specified offset
+ * in the mapped page is returned.
+ *
+ * Flags can be any of:
+ * * SG_KMAP - Use kmap to create the mapping
+ * * SG_KMAP_ATOMIC - Use kmap_atomic to map the page atommically.
+ * Thus, the rules of that function apply: the cpu
+ * may not sleep until it is unmaped.
+ *
+ * Also, consider carefully whether this function is appropriate. It is
+ * largely not recommended for new code and if the sgl came from another
+ * subsystem and you don't know what kind of memory might be in the list
+ * then you definitely should not call it. Non-mappable memory may be in
+ * the sgl and thus this function may fail unexpectedly.
