RPMsg uses dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate memory to shared with the remote.
In this case, as there is no pages setup in the dma_alloc_coherent(),
we cannot get the physical address back from the virtual address, and thus,
we can set the sg_dma_addr to store the DMA address and mark it already DMA
mapped.

When virtio vring sees the sg_dma_addr is ready set, do not call dma_map_page().

The issue was once discussed here:
http://virtualization.linux-foundation.narkive.com/CfVP32Vy/rfc-0-4-rpmsg-fix-init-of-dma-able-virtqueues

Edgar E. Iglesias (1):
   rpmsg: DMA map sgs passed to virtio

Wendy Liang (1):
   virtio_ring: Do not call dma_map_page if sg is already mapped.

Looks good to me.

I think you can send a formal patch (without RFC prefix).

Thanks
