For the upcoming IOVA-based DMA API we want to batch the ops->iotlb_sync_map() call after mapping multiple IOVAs from dma-iommu without having a scatterlist. Improve the API. Add a wrapper for the map_sync as iommu_sync_map() so that callers don't need to poke into the methods directly. Formalize __iommu_map() into iommu_map_nosync() which requires the caller to call iommu_sync_map() after all maps are completed. Refactor the existing sanity checks from all the different layers into iommu_map_nosync().

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 reStructuredText 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.
