Re: [RFC PATCH 12/12] HV/Storvsc: Add bounce buffer support for Storvsc

Hi Christoph:
     Thanks a lot for your review. There are some reasons.
     1) Vmbus drivers don't use DMA API now.
2) Hyper-V Vmbus channel ring buffer already play bounce buffer role for most vmbus drivers. Just two kinds of packets from netvsc/storvsc are uncovered. 3) In AMD SEV-SNP based Hyper-V guest, the access physical address of shared memory should be bounce buffer memory physical address plus
with a shared memory boundary(e.g, 48bit) reported Hyper-V CPUID. It's
called virtual top of memory(vTom) in AMD spec and works as a watermark. So it needs to ioremap/memremap the associated physical address above the share memory boundary before accessing them. swiotlb_bounce() uses low end physical address to access bounce buffer and this doesn't work in this senario. If something wrong, please help me correct me.

Thanks.

This should be handled by the DMA mapping layer, just like for native
SEV support.
