Provide an access to pci_p2pdma_map_type() function to allow subsystems to determine the appropriate mapping type for P2PDMA transfers between a provider and target device. The pci_p2pdma_map_type() function is the core P2P layer version of the existing public, but struct page focused, pci_p2pdma_state() function. It returns the same result. It is required to use the p2p subsystem from drivers that don't use the struct page layer. Like __pci_p2pdma_update_state() it is not an exported function. The idea is that only subsystem code will implement mapping helpers for taking in phys_addr_t lists, this is deliberately not made accessible to every driver to prevent abuse. Following patches will use this function to implement a shared DMA mapping helper for DMABUF.

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 reStructuredText 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.
