I was thinking of doing something like this. I'll probably rough out a patch and send it along today or tomorrow.

If at all it should be in the dma_map* wrappers, but for that we'd need
a good identifier.  And it still would not solve the whole fake dma
ops issue.

Very long term the IOMMUs under the ops will need to care about this,
so the wrapper is not an optimal place to put it - but I wouldn't
object if it gets it out of RDMA :)

Well, creating the extra op doesn't really change anything to the RDMA patch in this series. The point is, for the time being, we need to track whether we are doing a P2P or normal mapping using a side channel as we don't have a good way of tracking it in the SGL at this time.

Adding an extra DMA op is just one way to allow the existing DMA providers to opt-in/out.
