After reviewing and discussing with Leon and Jason on some of the
proposed updates, it became clean that having the callers track p2p dma
usage doesn't scale, and we have a convenient way to track these things
in the existing structures anyway. So, thank goodness nvme is the only
client of this API at the moment while we work out the kinks.
While looking at it, I also noticed that integrity wouldn't attempt to
use p2p pages, which I think was simply an oversight.

User provided metadata can come from anywhere, including p2p pages. Set
the extraction flags to allow p2p pages for the metadata buffer if the
block device allows it. Similar to data payloads, ensure the bio
disallows merging if we see a p2p page.

We only need to consider data and metadata dma mapping types separately.
The request and bio integrity payload have enough flag bits to
internally track the mapping type for each. Add flags for these so the
caller doesn't need to track them, and provide separete request and
integrity helpers to the common code for unmpaping. This will make it
easier to scale as new mappings are added without burdening the caller
to track such things.

We are actually about to run out of REQ_* bits with the current
encoding. We could shrink the space for REQ_OP_ a bit to create
more, or try to move some flags out into BIO_ flags (like
REQ_ALLOC_CACHE) or kill them by looking at pointers instead
(REQ_INTEGRITY), or by overlaying flags that can't be used with
the same of (REQ_FUA vs REQ_RAHEAD vs REQ_UNMAP for example).
And maybe we can come up with a more coherent scheme for
REQ_PRIO / REQ_BACKGROUND / REQ_SWAP and maybe REQ_IDLE that create
another priority scheme in addition to the I/O priorities.

Sure, but can we do that effort separately from this? I'm mainly trying
to align with Leon's DMA series that adds REQ_MMIO so that we won't have
flag conflicts.

I was just thinking out aloud how we could reclaim them, not trying
to take that on for this series.
