Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] introduce __pfn_t, evacuate struct page from sgls

Introduce __pfn_t which:

1/ Allows kernel internal DAX mappings to adhere to the lifetime of the
   the underlying block device.  In general, it enables a mechanism to
   allow any device driver to advertise "device memory" (CONFIG_DEV_PFN)
   to other parts of the kernel.

2/ Replaces usage of struct page in struct scatterlist.  A scatterlist
   need only carry enough information to generate a dma address, and
   removing struct page from scatterlists is a precursor to allowing DMA to
   device memory.  Some dma mapping implementations are not ready for a
   scatterlist-pfn to reference unampped device memory, those
   implementations are disabled by CONFIG_DEV_PFN=y.
   
Changes since v4 [1]:

1/ Drop the bio_vec conversion of struct page to __pfn_t for now.  Wait
   until there's a hierarchical block driver that would make use of direct
   dma to pmem.  (Christoph)

2/ Reorder the patch set to put the dax fixes first.

3/ Unconditionally convert struct scatterlist to use a pfn.  Strictly
   speaking the scatterlist conversion could also be deferred until we have
   a driver that attempts dma to pmem, but struct scatterlist really has no
   valid reason to carry a struct page. (Christoph)

4/ Rebased on block.git/for-next

Dan Williams (9):
      introduce __pfn_t for scatterlists and pmem
      x86: support kmap_atomic_pfn_t() for persistent memory
      dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access()
      dax: fix mapping lifetime handling, convert to __pfn_t + kmap_atomic_pfn_t()
      dma-mapping: allow archs to optionally specify a ->map_pfn() operation
      scatterlist: use sg_phys()
      scatterlist: cleanup sg_chain() and sg_unmark_end()
      scatterlist: convert to __pfn_t
      x86: convert dma_map_ops to support mapping a __pfn_t.
