[PATCH] base: dma-mapping: Postpone cpu addr translation on mmap()

[Jacopo Mondi]

Postpone calling virt_to_page() translation on memory locations not
guaranteed to be backed by a struct page.

This patch fixes a specific issue of SH architecture configured with
SPARSEMEM memory model, when mapping buffers allocated with the memblock
APIs at system initialization time, and thus not backed by the page
infrastructure.

It does apply to the general case though, as an early translation is anyhow
incorrect and shall be postponed after trying to map memory from the device
coherent memory pool first.

Compared to the RFC version I have tried to generalize the commit message,
please suggest any improvement to that.

I'm still a bit puzzled on what happens if dma_mmap_from_dev_coherent() fails.
Does a dma_mmap_from_dev_coherent() failure guarantee anyhow that the
successive virt_to_page() isn't problematic as it is today?
Or is it the
 	if (off < count && user_count <= (count - off))
check that makes the translation safe?

Thanks
