What is special is that virtio suddenly gets s/g that is already mapped for DMA, not in the way DMA (direct memory access) itself happens. right? Pls document as such. And this is why I'd call this flag "mapped" or "premapped", not "predma". "unmanaged" is also ok, though it's a bit vague wrt what exactly is managed. I'll defer to Jason on this.
