Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: limit DMA size to PAGE_SIZE for scatter-gather buffers

Code is expecing to observe the same number of buffers returned from
dma_map_sg() function compared to sg_alloc_table_from_pages(). This
doesn't hold true universally especially for systems with IOMMU.

IOMMU driver tries to combine buffers into a single DMA address as much
as it can. The right thing is to tell the DMA layer how much combining
IOMMU can do.

Good catch, but wrong place to set this.

Please move it into the device initialization functions.
