Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] usbip: Skip DMA mapping and unmapping for urb at vhci

vhci doesn’t do DMA for remote device. Actually, the real DMA
operation is done by network card driver. vhci just passes virtual
address of the buffer to the network stack, so vhci doesn’t use and
need dma address of the buffer of the URB.

When it comes to supporting SG for vhci, it is useful to use native
SG list (urb->num_sgs) instead of mapped SG list because DMA mapping
fnuction can adjust the number of SG list (urb->num_mapped_sgs).

But HCD provides DMA mapping and unmapping function by default.
Moreover, it causes unnecessary DMA mapping and unmapping which
will be done again at the NIC driver and it wastes CPU cycles.
So, implement map_urb_for_dma and unmap_urb_for_dma function for
vhci in order to skip the DMA mapping and unmapping procedure.

To support SG, vhci_map_urb_for_dma() sets URB_DMA_MAP_SG flag in
urb->transfer_flags if URB has SG list and this flag will tell the
stub driver to use SG list.
