The current scheme with a single helper to determine the P2P status and map a scatterlist segment force users to always use the map_sg helper to DMA map, which we're trying to get away from because they are very cache inefficient. Refactor the code so that there is a single helper that checks the P2P state for a page, including the result that it is not a P2P page to simplify the callers, and a second one to perform the address translation for a bus mapped P2P transfer that does not depend on the scatterlist structure.

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.
