So what's the plan?

Today the new DMA API broadly has the pattern:

        switch (pci_p2pdma_state(p2pdma_state, dev, page)) {
[..]
        if (dma_use_iova(state)) {
                ret = dma_iova_link(dev, state, paddr, offset,
[..]
        } else {
                dma_addr = dma_map_page(dev, page, 0, map->dma_entry_size,
[..]

You can't fully use the new API flow without calling
pci_p2pdma_state(), which is also not exported today.

Is the idea the full new DMA API flow should not be available to
modules? We did export dma_iova_link().

Otherwise, the p2p step needs two functions - a struct page-full and a
struct page-less version, and they need to be exported.

The names here are not so good, it would be nicer to have them be a
dma_* prefixed function since they are used with the other dma_
functions.
