Hmm.. There is nothing ensuring the page is mapped here for this
sg_virt(). Before maybe some of the kconfig stuff prevented highmem
systems indirectly, I wonder if we should add something more direct to
exclude highmem for these drivers?

Sigh. I think the proper fix is to replace addr/length with a
scatterlist pointer in the struct ib_sge, then have SW drivers
directly use the page pointer properly.

Then just delete this stuff, all drivers need is a noop dmaops

Looks a lot hard though, so we should probably go ahead with this.
