- new two step DMA mapping API, which is is a first step to a long path
to provide alternatives to scatterlist and to remove hacks, abuses and
design mistakes related to scatterlists; this new approach optimizes
some calls to DMA-IOMMU layer and cache maintenance by batching them,
reduces memory usage as it is no need to store mapped DMA addresses to
unmap them, and reduces some function call overhead; it is a combination
effort of many people, lead and developed by Christoph Hellwig and Leon
Romanovsky
