FYI, I really want SGL support before this get merged, but ignoring that
for now:

I'd make dma_list a variable-sized array at the end of the struture to avoid
an extra allocation and pointer derefernece.

Please initialize the variable at declaration time and use or add proper
helpers to simplify this:
static inline struct nvme_dmabuf_map *
to_nvme_dmabuf_map(struct io_dmabuf_map *map)
{
return container_of(map, struct nvme_dmabuf_map, base);
}
....
enum dma_data_direction dma_dir = rq_dma_dir(req);
struct device *dev = nvme_dev->dev;
struct bio *bio = req->bio;
struct nvme_dmabuf_map *map = to_nvme_dmabuf_map(bio->bi_dmabuf_map);
dma_addr_t *dma_list = map->dma_list;
int offset = bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done;
int mmap_idx = offset / NVME_CTRL_PAGE_SIZE;
int length = blk_rq_payload_bytes(req) +
offset & (NVME_CTRL_PAGE_SIZE - 1);
Also a lot of these ints sound like they should be unsigned.

Nothing should be using these __dma_sync helpers that are internal
details. Using them means you call into sync code that should be skipped
on most common server class systems.
Also the for_cpu argument is a bit ugly. I'd rather have separate
routines as in the core dma-mapping code, even if that means a little bit
of code duplication.

Same comments as for the sync helper above.

And I really hate how this duplicates all the nasty PRP building logic,
although right now I don't have a good answer to that.

This is something that should go into the block layer.
