Jason Gunthorpe d901b2760d lib/scatterlist: Provide a DMA page iterator
Commit 2db76d7c3c ("lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o
backing pages") introduced the sg_page_iter_dma_address() function without
providing a way to use it in the general case. If the sg_dma_len() is not
equal to the sg length callers cannot safely use the
for_each_sg_page/sg_page_iter_dma_address combination.

Resolve this API mistake by providing a DMA specific iterator,
for_each_sg_dma_page(), that uses the right length so
sg_page_iter_dma_address() works as expected with all sglists.

A new iterator type is introduced to provide compile-time safety against
wrongly mixing accessors and iterators.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
