Make use of the third free LSB in scatterlist's page_link on 64bit systems.

The extra bit will be used by dma_[un]map_sg_p2pdma() to determine when a
given SGL segments dma_address points to a PCI bus address.
dma_unmap_sg_p2pdma() will need to perform different cleanup when a
segment is marked as a bus address.

The new bit will only be used when CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA is set; this means
PCI P2PDMA will require CONFIG_64BIT. This should be acceptable as the
majority of P2PDMA use cases are restricted to newer root complexes and
roughly require the extra address space for memory BARs used in the
transactions.

Does this serve any useful purpose? If a page is determined to be device memory, it's not going to suddenly stop being device memory, and if the underlying sg is recycled to point elsewhere then sg_assign_page() will still (correctly) clear this flag anyway. Trying to reason about this beyond superficial API symmetry - i.e. why exactly would a caller need to call it, and what would the implications be of failing to do so - seems to lead straight to confusion.

In fact I'd be inclined to have sg_assign_page() be responsible for setting the flag automatically as well, and thus not need sg_dma_mark_bus_address() either, however I can see the argument for doing it this way round to not entangle the APIs too much, so I don't have any great objection to that.

Thanks,
Robin.
