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. I only wonder if this newly introduced dma_map_phys()/dma_unmap_phys() API is also suitable for the recently discussed PCI P2P DMA? While adding a new API maybe we should take this into account? My main concern is the lack of the source phys addr passed to the dma_unmap_phys() function and I'm aware that this might complicate a bit code conversion from old dma_map/unmap_page() API.
