Re: [PATCH v4 0/6] virtio core DMA API conversion

This switches virtio to use the DMA API unconditionally.  I'm sure
it breaks things, but it seems to work on x86 using virtio-pci, with

  virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs
  virtio_pci: Use the DMA API
  virtio: Add improved queue allocation API
  virtio_mmio: Use the DMA API
  virtio_pci: Use the DMA API

Ugh.  The two virtio_pci patches should be squashed together.  I'll do
that for v5, but I'm not going to send it until there's more feedback.

FWIW, I'm collecting this stuff here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/log/?h=virtio_dma

That branch includes this series (with the squash) and the s390
patches.  I'll keep it up to date, since it seems silly to declare it
stable enough to stop rebasing yet.
