It doesn't explain the connection to the goal of this series. If it's
not a must I'd suggest moving it to a separate patch.

Rethink this, it looks to me it would complicate the codes furtherly.

For example, vring_map_xxx() helpers will check premappred and
use_dma_api by itself. But in the case of vring_unmap() you want to
move those checks to the caller. This will result in tricky codes that
are hard to understand.

We need to be consistent here.

If we try to optimize unmap we need to optimize map as well. But
generally it would complicate the logic of the caller if we want to
let the caller to differ. Ideally, the caller of those function should
know nothing about use_dma_api, premapped and other.

I would do this to make it much more easier to be read and avoid the warn:

if (vring_mapping_error(vq, addr))
        goto unmap_release;

unmap_release:
        if (vring_need_unmap_buffer(vq))
                for (i = 0, xxx)
free_desc:
        kfree(desc);

or it could be

unmap_release:
      if (!vring_need_unmap_buffer(vq))
            goto free_desc;

Still tricky but better.

An example of the tricky code, I think you do this because you want to
differ indirect in detach_buf_packed():

flags = vq->packed.desc_extra[id].flags;

Can we check vq->indirect && indir_desc here? Then we don't need
special care to store flags in desc_extra.
