This is fine.

I meant it's a hack. It may work now but will be a bug in the future.
For example, I'm playing a prototype to do pre mapping for virtio-blk,
the idea is to move the expensive DMA mappings in the case of swiotlb
etc to be done outside the pre virtqueue lock. In that case, the
driver may want to use dma_map_sg() instead of dma_map_page().
I'd suppose we will finally go with the way where DMA mappings needs
to be handled by the driver, and dma_map_sg() is faster than per sg
dma_map_page() anyhow.

Well, we just need a minor tweak to get the length from
vring_map_one_sg(), then everything should be fine?
if (sg_is_premapped) {
*addr = sg_dma_address(sg);
*len = sg_dma_len(sg);
}

Actually, the code like sg_fill_dma() calls for a virtqueue dma
mapping helper, I think we've agreed that core needs to hide DMA
details from the driver. That is something like
virtqueue_dma_map_sg() etc.
