The point is only to get a measurement of the cost of handling
dma_map_sg and dma_unmap_sg, this is the maximum time mmc nonblocking
can save.
The nonblocking mmc_test should save the total time of dma_map_sg and
dma_unmap_sg, if the pre_req and post_req hooks are implemented
correctly.
Running without dma_map_sg and dma_unmap_sg will confirm if the
pre_req and post_req hooks are implemented correctly.
