sg_phys() already accounts for the offset, so you're adding it twice.

I know we reserve the outbound windows (largely *because* some host 
bridges will consider those addresses as attempts at unsupported P2P and 
prevent them working), I just wanted to confirm that this bus offset is 
always something small that stays within the relevant window, rather 
than something that might make a BAR appear in a completely different 
place for P2P purposes. If so, that's good.

Urgh, yes, if a page may or may not be valid for p2p depending on which 
device is trying to map it, then it probably is most reasonable to 
figure that out at this point. It's a little unfortunate having to cope 
with failure so late, but oh well.

The hope was that we could save doing even that - e.g. if you pass a 
dodgy page into dma_map_page(), maybe page_to_phys() will crash, maybe 
you'll just end up with a DMA address that won't work, but either way it 
doesn't care in its own right - but it seems that's moot.

Yes, we temporarily shuffle in page-aligned quantities to satisfy the 
needs of the iommu_map_sg() call, before unpacking things again in 
__finalise_sg(). It's some disgusting trickery that I'm particularly 
proud of. My point is that if you have a mix of both p2p and normal 
segments - which seems to be a case you want to support - then the 
length of 0 that you set to flag p2p segments here will be seen by 
iommu_map_sg() (as it walks the list to map the other segments) before 
you then use it as a key to override the DMA address in the final step. 
It's not a concern if you have a p2p-only list and short-circuit 
straight to that step (in which case all the shuffling was wasted effort 
anyway), but since it's not entirely clear what a segment with zero 
length would mean in general, it seems like a good idea to avoid passing 
the list across a public boundary in that state, if possible.
