This has built into it an assumption that every page in the sg element
has the same pgmap, but AFAIK nothing enforces this rule? There is no
requirement that the HW has pfn gaps between the pgmaps linux decides
to create over it.

At least sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages() and probably something in
the block world should be updated to not combine struct pages with
different pgmaps, and this should be documented in scatterlist.*
someplace.
