iotlb_translate() can return -ENOBUFS if the bio_vec is not big enough to contain all the ranges for translation. This can happen for example if the VMM maps a large bounce buffer, without using hugepages, that requires more than 16 ranges to translate the addresses. To handle this case, let's extend iotlb_translate() to also return the number of bytes successfully translated. In copy_from_iotlb()/copy_to_iotlb() loops by calling iotlb_translate() several times until we complete the translation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
