  To: linux-kernel; +Cc: akpm, James.Bottomley, davem, jbarnes, arnd

Adds the following macros:

DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(ADDR_NAME)
DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_LEN(LEN_NAME)
dma_unmap_addr(PTR, ADDR_NAME)
dma_unmap_addr_set(PTR, ADDR_NAME, VAL)
dma_unmap_len(PTR, LEN_NAME)
dma_unmap_len_set(PTR, LEN_NAME, VAL)

The API corresponds to the pci_unmap state API. We'll move to this new
generic API from the PCI specific API in the long term. As
include/asm-generic/pci-dma-compat.h does, the pci_unmap API simply
calls the new generic API for some time.

+Part Ie - Optimizing Unmap State Space Consumption
+--------------------------------
+
+On some platforms, dma_unmap_{single,page}() is simply a nop.
+Therefore, keeping track of the mapping address and length is a waste
+of space. Instead of filling your drivers up with ifdefs and the like
+to "work around" this (which would defeat the whole purpose of a
+portable API) the following facilities are provided.
+
+Actually, instead of describing the macros one by one, we'll
+transform some example code.
+
+1) Use DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_{ADDR,LEN} in state saving structures.
+   Example, before:
+
+	struct ring_state {
+		struct sk_buff *skb;
+		dma_addr_t mapping;
+		__u32 len;
+	};
+
+   after:
+
+	struct ring_state {
+		struct sk_buff *skb;
+		DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(mapping)
+		DECLARE_DMA_UNMAP_LEN(len)
+	};
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put a semicolon at the end of the DECLARE_*() macro.
+
+2) Use dma_unmap_{addr,len}_set to set these values.
+   Example, before:
+
+	ringp->mapping = FOO;
+	ringp->len = BAR;
+
+   after:
+
+	dma_unmap_addr_set(ringp, mapping, FOO);
+	dma_unmap_len_set(ringp, len, BAR);
+
+3) Use dma_unmap_{addr,len} to access these values.
+   Example, before:
+
+	dma_unmap_single(dev, ringp->mapping, ringp->len,
+			 DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+
+   after:
+
+	dma_unmap_single(dev,
+			 dma_unmap_addr(ringp, mapping),
+			 dma_unmap_len(ringp, len),
+			 DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
+
+It really should be self-explanatory.  We treat the ADDR and LEN
+separately, because it is possible for an implementation to only
+need the address in order to perform the unmap operation.
+
