[PATCH] iommu/dma: Map scatterlists more parsimoniously

[Robin Murphy]

Whilst blindly assuming the worst case for segment boundaries and
aligning every segment individually is safe from the point of view
of respecting the device's parameters, it is also undeniably a waste
of IOVA space. Futhermore, the knock-on effects of more pages than
necessary being exposed to device access, additional overhead in page
table updates and TLB invalidations, etc., are even more undesirable.

Improve matters by taking the actual boundary mask into account to
actively detect the cases in which we really do need to adjust a
segment, and avoid wasting space in the remainder.

Hi all,

I've given this some brief testing on Juno with USB and (via magic
PCI hacks) SATA to confirm that all the +1s and -1s at least seem to
be in the right places, so I'm throwing it out now for a head-start on
checking whether it also helps the media folks with the v4l portability
issues they're up against (I'm confident it should). If all goes well I
figure I'll repost next week based on rc1 instead of some random local
development commit.

Robin.
