I have thought a little bit more about this interface and think that it
would be better to just return a size_t from iommu_map_sg().  The
function returns the amount of address space mapped by it, 0 in the
worst case.

This makes it easy to unmap the region just with
iommu_unmap(domain, iova, size) in the end and removing the need for a
new iommu_unmap_sg() function. Also the error-path of the map_sg
call-backs becomes easier as the function then just returns the amount
of address-space already mapped before the error happened.

So the prototype would be:

	size_t iommu_map_sg(struct iommu_domain *domain,
			    unsigned long iova,
			    struct scatterlist *sg,
			    unsigned int nents,
			    int prot);

(as I said before, the flags parameter should not be added by this
 patch-set).
