My bad (again :-/).
Actually, I think I don't need to save the dma_map_sg return val, since
I'm using the sg_next function to iterate over the scatterlist. Am I
right ?
IOW, is the ->map_sg() function (in dma_map_ops) supposed to merge the
contiguous entries and then flag the unused entries with the is_chain
flag ?
If that's not the case, and the ->map_sg() just marks the merged entries
as empty (length = 0), then I'll have to rework my iterator algorithm.
