Add max_segment argument to drm_prime_pages_to_sg(). When set pass it
through to the __sg_alloc_table_from_pages() call, otherwise use
SCATTERLIST_MAX_SEGMENT.
Also add max_segment field to gem objects and pass it to
drm_prime_pages_to_sg() calls in drivers and helpers.

I'm missing an explanation why this should be useful (it certainly is).
virtio-gpu needs this to work properly with SEV (see patch 2/2 of this
series).
Yeah, that's the problem patch 2/2 never showed up here :)
And the maximum segment size seems misplaced in the GEM object. This is
usually a property of the device or even completely constant.
Placing it in drm_device instead would indeed work for virtio-gpu, so I
guess you are suggesting that instead?
That is probably the best approach, yes.
For Intel and AMD it could even be global/constant, but it certainly
doesn't needs to be kept around for each buffer.
Christian.
take care,
Gerd
