You are doing two things in one patch :-
1. Introducing a new macro to replace the current macros.
2. Adding a new member to those macros.

shouldn't this be split into two patches where you introduce a
macro SG_PAGE_LINK_MASK (SG_CHAIN | SG_END) in prep patch and
update the SF_PAGE_LINK_MASK with SG_DMA_PCI_P2PDMA with related
code?

OR

Is there a reason why it is not split ?
