I've beeen working on this idea and have updated my github here: https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/dmabuf_map_type/ I still need to run it through what testing I can do here, but it goes all the way and converts everything into SGT mapping type, all drivers. I think this shows the idea works. I'm hoping to post it next week if the revoke thing settles down and I can complete some more checking. We can discuss how to break it up along with get feedback if people are happy with the idea. It looks like it turns out fairly well, I didn't find anything surprising along the way at least. Thanks, Jason
