Good idea. Though, I think your line isn't quite correct. I've added:

static_assert(__alignof__(struct page) >= 8);

I also prefer static inlines, but I usually follow the style of the code
I'm changing. In any case, I've changed to static inlines similar to
your example.

Perhaps, but I'm not comfortable making that change in this patch or
series. Though, I've reverted this specific change in my patch so
sg_assign_page() will clear SG_DMA_PCI_P2PDMA.
