Yes, the swiotlb_force mode isn't enabled in non-isolated VM and so
dma_page_page() returns the physical address directly.

Yes, will update. Thanks.

The default allocate unit of swiotlb bounce is IO_TLB_SIZE(2k).
Otherwise, I find some scsi request cmd's length is less than 100byte.
Keep a small unit can avoid wasting bounce buffer and just need to
update the offset.

I wonder whether we may introduce a new API scsi_dma_map_with_callback.
Caller provides a callback and run callback in sg loop of
dma_direct_map_sg(). Caller need to update some data structure in the sg
loop. Here is such case that driver needs to populate
payload->range.pfn_array[]. This is why I don't use dma_map_sg() here.
