Re: [PATCH v2] dma-mapping: use vmalloc_to_page for vmalloc addresses

Hi, Stefano!

Yes, right, If we want to reuse this helper instead of the same code
block in xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() need to make cpu_addr_to_page() as
global and add a new declaration for this helper in include/linux/dma-map-ops.h.
What do you think?

Cheers!
