For rx, if you mean per-buffer dma buffer, I think it is yes,
rx can reuse this. If you mean should we do premapped for the
normal rx buffers, I think we should, that can reduce the
dma map operations.

Sorry, I do not get for you.

The key point is that the sg->page is setted by driver.

So I mean if the driver sets sg->page = NULL, then for this sg,
the virtio core can skip dma mapping. If the driver sets
sg->page to the page of the buffer, then the virtio core should
do dma mapping for this sg.
