The current API for ib_unmap_fmr takes an array. A couple of questions: Is it worth it for ib_unmap_fmr to operate on more than a single fmr? If so, should a linked list be used instead? And, should the access layer API assume that the FMRs all come from the same device?
My initial thought is to restrict ib_unmap_fmr to a single fmr, _but_ if there's a reason to unmap multiples, update struct ib_fmr to allow for a linked list. The access layer would assume all FMRs come from the same device in such a case, to avoid walking the list.
