Mapping and unmapping are more often than not in the critical path.
map_sg and unmap_sg allows IOMMU driver implementations to optimize
the process of mapping and unmapping buffers into the IOMMU page tables.

Instead of mapping a buffer one page at a time and requiring potentially
expensive TLB operations for each page, this function allows the driver
to map all pages in one go and defer TLB maintenance until after all
pages have been mapped.

Additionally, the mapping operation would be faster in general since
clients does not have to keep calling map API over and over again for
each physically contiguous chunk of memory that needs to be mapped to a
virtually contiguous region.

Hmm, this is a pretty horrible place where CPU page size (from the sg list)
meets the IOMMU and I think we need to do something better to avoid spurious
failures. In other words, the sg list should be iterated in such a way that
we always pass a multiple of a supported iommu page size to iommu_map.

All the code using PAGE_MASK and PAGE_ALIGN needn't match what is supported
by the IOMMU hardware.
