Sorry, I missed this email for some reason. Thanks for Jason's reply.

Although, I think that the interface sg_page() should not have any problems.
If we use phys_addr_t replace the page + offset, this interface sg_page() should
be update or replace. But i will follow your advice.

I have another question. I done some modification on scatterlist
(inside virtqueue_map_sgs()) in the patch using dma_address to save the dma
address got by virtio core. I want to know if this behavior is suitable.

Thanks.
