How about providing a system-wide IB_ACCESS_LOCAL_READ |
IB_ACCESS_LOCAL_WRITE MR that all drivers can use and get rid of
ib_get_dma_mr in the long run?  That would help to nicely simplify
drivers?

Currently various drivers are using ib_get_dma_mr with remote flags
unfortunately, e.g. the SRP initiator driver uses it to optimize away
memory registrtions for single SGL entry requests.  That looks fixable
realtively easily, but I don't understand the other consumers as good.
