From: Rob Clark <robdcl...@gmail.com>
For devices which have constraints about maximum number of segments in
an sglist. For example, a device which could only deal with contiguous
buffers would set max_segment_count to 1.
The initial motivation is for devices sharing buffers via dma-buf,
to allow the buffer exporter to know the constraints of other
devices which have attached to the buffer. The dma_mask and fields
in 'struct device_dma_parameters' tell the exporter everything else
that is needed, except whether the importer has constraints about
maximum number of segments.
