Um strictly speaking they all should, but ttm never bothered to use the
real interfaces but just hacked around the provided sg list, grabbing the
underlying struct pages, then rebuilding&remapping the sg list again.

The entire point of using sg lists was exactly to allow this use case of
peer2peer dma (or well in general have special exporters which managed
memory/IO ranges not backed by struct page). So essentially you're having
a "I'm totally not broken flag" here.

I think a better approach would be if we add a requires_struct_page or so,
and annotate the current importers accordingly. Or we just fix them up (it
is all in shared ttm code after all, I think everyone else got this
right).
