staging: vc04_services: Replace dmac_map_area with dmac_map_sg
The original arm implementation uses dmac_map_area which is not portable. Replace it with an architecture neutral version which uses dma_map_sg. As you can see that for larger page sizes, the dma_map_sg implementation is faster then the original unportable dma_map_area implementation. Test dmac_map_area dma_map_page dma_map_sg vchiq_test -b 4 10000 51us/iter 76us/iter 76us vchiq_test -b 8 10000 70us/iter 82us/iter 91us vchiq_test -b 16 10000 94us/iter 118us/iter 121us vchiq_test -b 32 10000 146us/iter 173us/iter 187us vchiq_test -b 64 10000 263us/iter 328us/iter 299us vchiq_test -b 128 10000 529us/iter 631us/iter 595us vchiq_test -b 256 10000 2285us/iter 2275us/iter 2001us vchiq_test -b 512 10000 4372us/iter 4616us/iter 4123us For message sizes >= 64KB, dma_map_sg is faster then dma_map_page. For message size >= 256KB, the dma_map_sg is the fastest implementation. "Normal" messages sizes should be about 1MB which is beyond the length that this change shows a speed increase. This is v2 of the patch which includes extra WARN_ONs and incorporates feedback from Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>.
