7a60c2dd0f drm: Remove SCATTERLIST_MAX_SEGMENT
Since commit 9a40401cfa13 ("lib/scatterlist: Do not limit max_segment to
PAGE_ALIGNED values") the max_segment input to sg_alloc_table_from_pages()
does not have to be any special value. The new algorithm will always
create something less than what the user provides. Thus eliminate this
confusing constant.

- vmwgfx should use the HW capability, not mix in the OS page size for
  calling dma_set_max_seg_size()

- i915 uses i915_sg_segment_size() both for sg_alloc_table_from_pages
  and for some open coded sgl construction. This doesn't change the value
  since rounddown(size, UINT_MAX) == SCATTERLIST_MAX_SEGMENT

- drm_prime_pages_to_sg uses it as a default if max_segment is zero,
  UINT_MAX is fine to use directly.

07da1223ec lib/scatterlist: Add support in dynamic allocation of SG table from pages
Extend __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to support dynamic allocation of
SG table from pages. It should be used by drivers that can't supply
all the pages at one time.

This function returns the last populated SGE in the table. Users should
pass it as an argument to the function from the second call and forward.
As before, nents will be equal to the number of populated SGEs (chunks).

With this new extension, drivers can benefit the optimization of merging
contiguous pages without a need to allocate all pages in advance and
hold them in a large buffer.

E.g. with the Infiniband driver that allocates a single page for hold the
pages. For 1TB memory registration, the temporary buffer would consume only
4KB, instead of 2GB.

29d88681fb tools/testing/scatterlist: Show errors in human readable form
Instead of just asserting dump some more useful info about what the test
saw versus what it expected to see.

c9636244f8 tools/testing/scatterlist: Test new __sg_alloc_table_from_pages
Exercise the new __sg_alloc_table_from_pages API (and through
it also the old sg_alloc_table_from_pages), checking that the
created table has the expected number of segments depending on
the sequence of input pages and other conditions.

v2: Move to data driven for readability.
v3: Add some more testcases and -fsanitize=undefined. (Chris Wilson)
