Subject: [PATCH 0/8] dma-mapping: migrate to physical address-based API

This series refactors the DMA mapping to use physical addresses
as the primary interface instead of page+offset parameters. This
change aligns the DMA API with the underlying hardware reality where
DMA operations work with physical addresses, not page structures.

The series consists of 8 patches that progressively convert the DMA
mapping infrastructure from page-based to physical address-based APIs:

The series maintains backward compatibility by keeping the old
page-based API as wrapper functions around the new physical
address-based implementations.

Thanks

Leon Romanovsky (8):
  dma-debug: refactor to use physical addresses for page mapping
  dma-mapping: rename trace_dma_*map_page to trace_dma_*map_phys
  iommu/dma: rename iommu_dma_*map_page to iommu_dma_*map_phys
  dma-mapping: convert dma_direct_*map_page to be phys_addr_t based
  kmsan: convert kmsan_handle_dma to use physical addresses
  dma-mapping: fail early if physical address is mapped through platform
    callback
  dma-mapping: export new dma_*map_phys() interface
  mm/hmm: migrate to physical address-based DMA mapping API
