Yes, I had the same thought when looking over the code.  Especially
as macros tend to further obsfucate the code (compared to actual helper
functions).

Yes.

Maybe I'm missing something in the hyperv code, but I don't think
dma_map_page would bounce buffer for the non-isolated case.  It
will just return the physical address.

Independent of if SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY is good (it it a common
pattern in SCSI drivers), ->queuecommand can't return normal
negative errnos.  It must return the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* codes or 0.
We should probably change the return type of the method definition
to a suitable enum to make this more clear.

Careful.  DMA mapping is supposed to keep the offset in the page, but
for that the DMA mapping code needs to know what the device considers a
"page".  For that the driver needs to set the min_align_mask field in
struct device_dma_parameters.

Yes, I think dma_map_sg is the right thing to use here, probably even
for the non-isolated case so that we can get the hv drivers out of their
little corner and into being more like a normal kernel driver.  That
is, use the scsi_dma_map/scsi_dma_unmap helpers, and then iterate over
the dma addresses one page at a time using for_each_sg_dma_page.

Indeed.
