Linux kernel source tree

Add a new blk_rq_dma_map / blk_rq_dma_unmap pair that does away with the wasteful scatterlist structure. Instead it uses the mapping iterator to either add segments to the IOVA for IOMMU operations, or just maps them one by one for the direct mapping. For the IOMMU case instead of a scatterlist with an entry for each segment, only a single [dma_addr,len] pair needs to be stored for processing a request, and for the direct mapping the per-segment allocation shrinks from [page,offset,len,dma_addr,dma_len] to just [dma_addr,len]. One big difference to the scatterlist API, which could be considered downside, is that the IOVA collapsing only works when the driver sets a virt_boundary that matches the IOMMU granule. For NVMe this is done already so it works perfectly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
