The loop in iommu_dma_map_sg() will decide what to do with P2PDMA pages.
If it is to map it with the bus address it will set s_iova_len to zero
so that no space is allocated in the IOVA. If it is to map it through
the host bridge, then it it will leave s_iova_len alone and create the
appropriate mapping with the CPU physical address.

This condition notices that s_iova_len was set to zero and fills in a SG
segment with the PCI bus address for that region.

I really disagree here. Putting the exceptional condition in it's own if
statement and leaving the normal case un-indented is easier to read and
understand. It also saves an extra level of indentation in code that is
already starting to look a little squished.

I don't see how we can factor this into two cases. The SGL may contain
normal pages or P2PDMA pages or a mix of both and we have to create an
IOVA area for all the regions that map the CPU physical address (ie
normal pages and some P2PDMA pages) then also insert segments for any
PCI bus address.

Yes, this is tricky code, but not that incomprehensible. Most of the
difficulty is in understanding how it works before adding the P2PDMA bits.

There are two loops: one to prepare the IOVA region and another to fill
in the SGL. We have to add cases in both loops to skip the segments that
need to be mapped with the bus address in the first loop, and insert the
dma SGL segments in the second loop.
