Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/2] scatterlist: add I/O variant of sg_pcopy & sg_copy and use them

A local variant of sg_copy_buffer has been introduced in the meson-gx mmc driver [1] after
a mempcy optimization, fixing the iomem buffer manipulation and the reported system crash [2].

But, the fix is suboptimal in terms of performace/ugliness [3] and a proper I/O variant of
sg_copy_buffer should be added and used instead.
