So far a bounce buffer is used to serialize the scatterlist(s). This overhead can be avoided by switching to descriptor chain mode. As result the performance is drastically improved. On a Odroid-C2 with a 128 GB eMMC module raw reads reach 140 MB/s. Prerequisite for descriptor chain mode is that all scatterlist buffers are 8 byte aligned for 64-bit DMA. That's not always the case, at least the brcmfmac SDIO WiFi driver is known to cause problems. Therefore, for each request, check upfront whether all scatterlist buffers are 8 byte aligned and fall back to bounce buffer mode if that's not the case.
