This driver is the only caller of vfio_pin/unpin_pages that might pass
in a non-contiguous PFN list, but in many cases it has a contiguous PFN
list to process. So letting VFIO API handle a non-contiguous PFN list
is actually counterproductive.

Add a pair of simple loops to pass in contiguous PFNs only, to have an
efficient implementation in VFIO.

I think this is fine as-is for this series, but someone who knows and
can test ccw should go in and fix things so that pfn_array_alloc()
doesn't exist. Allocating memory and filling it with consecutive
integers is kind of silly given we can just call vfio_pin_pages() with
pa_nr directly.

	pa->pa_iova_pfn[0] = pa->pa_iova >> PAGE_SHIFT;
	pa->pa_pfn[0] = -1ULL;
	for (i = 1; i < pa->pa_nr; i++) {
		pa->pa_iova_pfn[i] = pa->pa_iova_pfn[i - 1] + 1;

It looks like only the 'ccw_is_idal' flow can actually create
non-continuities. Also the loop in copy_from_iova() should ideally be
using the much faster 'rw' interface, and not a pin/unpin cycle just
to memcpy.

If I guess right these changes would significantly speed this driver
up.

Anyhow,

This code is certainly not my favorite, but you're right that it's the
IDAL flow that generates the non-contiguous requests and the code you
reference is simply an initialization for the !IDAL case. As I have a
todo in this code anyway, I'll register your suggestion to see if they
can be untangled.

I guess I missed when that was added. This looks like low hanging fruit
for some ollllld code regardless of the above. Will get to this once
I'm back. Thank you!
