similar to: [PATCH v5 0/3] virtio: Use the DMA API when appropriate

This fixes virtio on Xen guests as well as on any other platform that uses virtio_pci on which physical addresses don't match bus addresses. This can be tested with: virtme-run --xen xen --kimg arch/x86/boot/bzImage --console using virtme from here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/virtme/virtme.git Without these patches, the guest hangs forever. With these patches,

I still disagree with using CONFIG_PPC as a trigger here.

This switches virtio to use the DMA API unconditionally. I'm sure it breaks things, but it seems to work on x86 using virtio-pci, with and without Xen, and using both the modern 1.0 variant and the legacy variant. Changes from v2: - Fix really embarrassing bug. This version actually works. Changes from v1: - Fix an endian conversion error causing a BUG to hit. - Fix a DMA ordering issue

This appears to work on native and Xen x86_64 using both modern and legacy virtio-pci. It also appears to work on arm and arm64. It definitely won't work as-is on s390x, and

This switches virtio to use the DMA API on Xen and if requested by module option. This fixes virtio on Xen, and it should break anything because it's off by default on everything except Xen PV on x86. To the Xen people: is this okay? If it doesn't work on other Xen variants (PVH? HVM?), can you submit follow-up patches to fix it? To everyone else: we've waffled on this for way too
