Thanks for this rework! I assume that the next step is to add map_phys
callback also to the dma_map_ops and teach various dma-mapping providers
to use it to avoid more phys-to-page-to-phys conversions.
Probably Christoph will say yes, however I personally don't see any
benefit in this. Maybe I wrong here, but all existing .map_page()
implementation platforms don't support p2p anyway. They won't benefit
from this such conversion.
I think that conversion should eventually happen, and rather sooner than
later.
Agreed.

Applied patches 1-7 to my dma-mapping-next branch. Let me know if one 
needs a stable branch with it.

Leon, it would be great if You could also prepare an incremental patch 
adding map_phys callback to the dma_maps_ops, so the individual 
arch-specific dma-mapping providers can be then converted (or simplified 
in many cases) too.

Best regards
