DMA on this hardware is limited to dealing with a single page at a time. Previously, the driver was set up accordingly to request single-page DMA buffers, however that had the effect of generating a large number of small MMC requests for data I/O. Improve the driver to accept scatter-gather DMA buffers of larger sizes. Iterate through those buffers a page at a time. Testing with dd, this increases write performance from 2mb/sec to 10mb/sec, and increases read performance from 4mb/sec to 14mb/sec.

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.
