IV cannot be on stack when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is selected because the stack
cannot be DMA mapped anymore.
This looks better, thanks.

This patch copies the IV into the extended descriptor when iv is not
a valid linear address.

Though I am not sure the checks in place are enough.

A more precise condition would be (!is_vmalloc_addr || is_vmalloc_addr(iv))

Sorry for the typo, I meant:
(!virt_addr_valid(iv) || is_vmalloc_addr(iv))

It matches the checks in debug_dma_map_single() helper, though I am not sure
they are enough to rule out all exceptions of DMA API.
