Returning a "bridge distance" from a "get map type" routine is jarring,
and I think it is because of a pre-existing problem: the above function
is severely misnamed. Let's try renaming it (and the other one) to
approximately:

     upstream_bridge_map_type_warn()
     upstream_bridge_map_type()

...and that should fix that. Well, that, plus tweaking the kernel doc
comments, which are also confused. I think someone started off thinking
about distances through PCIe, but in the end, the routine boils down to
just a few situations that are not distances at all.

Also, the above will read a little better if it is written like this:

	ret = xa_to_value(xa_load(&provider->p2pdma->map_types,
				  map_types_idx(client)));

	if (ret == PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_UNKNOWN)
		ret = upstream_bridge_map_type_warn(provider, client, NULL,
						    GFP_ATOMIC);
	
	return ret;

Why? Or at least, why, in this patch? It looks like an accidental
leftover from something, seeing as how it is not directly related to the
patch, and is not mentioned at all.
