Add a new API that returns a virtually non-contigous array of pages and dma address. This API is only implemented for dma-iommu and will not be implemented for non-iommu DMA API instances that have to allocate contiguous memory. It is up to the caller to check if the API is available.
Isn't there already a flag that is only implemented for ARM systems with iommu that forces pages to actually be physically contiguous? So isn't this some kind of strange opposite?
