This should just use pci_p2pdma_distance.

DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC doesn't even apply to dma_map_resource, not sure
where this wisdom comes from.

This is not how P2P addresses are mapped.  You need to use
dma_map_sgtable and have the proper pgmap for it.

The problem is once more that this is MMIO space, in other words register BARs which needs to be exported/imported.

Adding struct pages for it generally sounds like the wrong approach here. You can't even access this with the CPU or would trigger potentially unwanted hardware actions.

Would you mind if I start to tackle this problem?

The above is just a badly implemented version of the dma-direct
PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_BUS_ADDR case, ignoring mappings through the host
bridge or dma-map-ops interactions.
