I'm a little too busy for a review of such a huge patchset right now.
That being said here are my comments from a very quick review:

 - the bare memremap usage in swiotlb looks strange and I'd
   definitively expect a well documented wrapper.
 - given that we can now hand out swiotlb memory for coherent mappings
   we need to carefully audit what happens when this memremaped
   memory gets mmaped or used through dma_get_sgtable
 - the netscv changes I'm not happy with at all.  A large part of it
   is that the driver already has a bad structure, but this series
   is making it significantly worse.  We'll need to find a way
   to use the proper dma mapping abstractions here.  One option
   if you want to stick to the double vmapped buffer would be something
   like using dma_alloc_noncontigous plus a variant of
   dma_vmap_noncontiguous that takes the shared_gpa_boundary into
   account.
