As reported in [0], DMA mappings whose size exceeds the IOMMU IOVA caching limit may see a big performance hit.
This series introduces a new DMA mapping API, dma_opt_mapping_size(), so that drivers may know this limit when performance is a factor in the mapping. The SCSI SAS transport code is modified only to use this limit. For now I did not want to touch other hosts as I have a concern that this change could cause a performance regression. I also added a patch for libata-scsi as it does not currently honour the shost max_sectors limit.
