If you are not going to include a CPU list then I suggest setting
sg_table->orig_nents == 0

And using only the nents which is the length of the DMA list.

At least it gives some hope that other parts of the system could
detect this.

for_each_sgtable_sg should never be used when working with
sg_dma_address() type stuff, here and everywhere else. The DMA list
should be iterated using the for_each_sgtable_dma_sg() macro.

Huh? This is forming a SGL, it should follow the SGL rules which means
you have to fragment based on the dma_get_max_seg_size() of the
importer device.

Why not just create the SGL directly? Is there a reason it needs to
make a page list?
