Mark did a big audit into the map_sg API abuse and initially had
some i915 patches, but then gave up on them with this comment:

"The biggest TODO is DRM/i915 driver and I don't feel brave enough to fix
 it fully. The driver creatively uses sg_table->orig_nents to store the
 size of the allocate scatterlist and ignores the number of the entries
 returned by dma_map_sg function. In this patchset I only fixed the
 sg_table objects exported by dmabuf related functions. I hope that I
 didn't break anything there."

it would be really nice if the i915 maintainers could help with sorting
that API abuse out.
