I like this and we could replace the drm helper function in drm prime with
this one. One comment below.

I'm not aware of the details (and didn't bother to do a full audit), but
I guess this could blow up on funky discontig-mem setups. Imo would be
safer to compare the pfn or phys address. And also slightly more readable.
Imo sg table creation is not a fastpath, the exporter should cache these
anyway, so we can waste some cpu cycles here.
