Introduce __pfn_t which:
1/ Allows kernel internal DAX mappings to adhere to the lifetime of the
the underlying block device. In general, it enables a mechanism to
allow any device driver to advertise "device memory" (CONFIG_DEV_PFN)
to other parts of the kernel.
2/ Replaces usage of struct page in struct scatterlist. A scatterlist
need only carry enough information to generate a dma address, and
removing struct page from scatterlists is a precursor to allowing DMA to
device memory. Some dma mapping implementations are not ready for a
scatterlist-pfn to reference unampped device memory, those
implementations are disabled by CONFIG_DEV_PFN=y.
Changes since v4 [1]:
1/ Drop the bio_vec conversion of struct page to __pfn_t for now. Wait
until there's a hierarchical block driver that would make use of direct
dma to pmem. (Christoph)
2/ Reorder the patch set to put the dax fixes first.
3/ Unconditionally convert struct scatterlist to use a pfn. Strictly
speaking the scatterlist conversion could also be deferred until we have
a driver that attempts dma to pmem, but struct scatterlist really has no
valid reason to carry a struct page. (Christoph)
4/ Rebased on block.git/for-next

Dan Williams (9):
introduce __pfn_t for scatterlists and pmem
x86: support kmap_atomic_pfn_t() for persistent memory
dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access()
dax: fix mapping lifetime handling, convert to __pfn_t + kmap_atomic_pfn_t()
dma-mapping: allow archs to optionally specify a ->map_pfn() operation
scatterlist: use sg_phys()
scatterlist: cleanup sg_chain() and sg_unmark_end()
scatterlist: convert to __pfn_t
x86: convert dma_map_ops to support mapping a __pfn_t.
