Erm, there's a misunderstanding somewhere.  You're replacing correct
pci_map_single calls with its more difficult to use pci_map_page.  This
has absolutely zero performance impact and adds the risk that because
pci_map_page is more complex to use, someone gets it wrong somewhere.
Really, for block devices pci_map_single is the absolutely correct
interface.  pci_map_page should really only be used by the net stack for
packet fragment mapping.
