The new type struct dma_buf_map represents a mapping of dma-buf memory
into kernel space. It contains a flag, is_iomem, that signals users to
access the mapped memory with I/O operations instead of regular loads
and stores.

It was assumed that DMA buffer memory can be accessed with regular load
and store operations. Some architectures, such as sparc64, require the
use of I/O operations to access dma-map buffers that are located in I/O
memory. Providing struct dma_buf_map allows drivers to implement this.
This was specifically a problem when refreshing the graphics framebuffer
on such systems. [1]

As the first step, struct dma_buf stores an instance of struct dma_buf_map
internally. Afterwards, dma-buf's vmap and vunmap interfaces are be
converted. Finally, affected drivers can be fixed.

This looks like overkill since both pointers are part of the same union.

I suggest to test only one and add a comment.

Maybe just use memset() on the structure.

Maybe explain that this can be used in general for abstracting away the
difference between system memory and __iomem for buffer mappings. Or
something like that - it's not exlusively tied to dma-buf, just a
convenient place.

gcc should be able to see through this, and I think the clever code is
maybe a bit too clever. I'd leave it as-is.
