First, there is no such user. The only user of this interface is caam_rng_fill_async() and that uses kfifo_alloc() -> kmalloc(). Second, the implementation does not allow anything else than direct mapping and kmalloc() (due to virt_to_phys()), anyway. Therefore, there is no point in having this dead (and complex) code in the kernel. Note the setup_sgl_buf() function now boils down to simple sg_set_buf(). That is called twice from setup_sgl() to take care of kfifo buffer wrap-around. setup_sgl_buf() will be extended shortly, so keeping it in place.
