storvsc currently sets .dma_boundary to limit scatterlist entries to 4 Kbytes, which is less efficient with huge pages that offer large chunks of contiguous physical memory. Improve the algorithm for creating the Hyper-V guest physical address PFN array so that scatterlist entries with lengths > 4Kbytes are handled. As a result, remove the .dma_boundary setting. The improved algorithm also adds support for scatterlist entries with offsets >= 4Kbytes, which is supported by many other SCSI low-level drivers. And it retains support for architectures where possibly PAGE_SIZE != HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE (such as ARM64).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
