This routine now deserves a little bit of commenting, now that it is
doing less obvious things. How about something like this:

/*
* Unmaps pages, except for PCI_P2PDMA pages, which were never mapped in the
* first place. Instead of unmapping PCI_P2PDMA entries, simply remove the
* SG_PCI_P2PDMA mark
*/

I got that kind of wrong. They *were* mapped, but need to be left mostly
alone...maybe you can word it better. Here's my second draft:

/*
* Unmaps pages, except for PCI_P2PDMA pages, which should not be unmapped at
* this point. Instead of unmapping PCI_P2PDMA entries, simply remove the
* SG_PCI_P2PDMA mark.
*/

...am I getting close? :)

thanks,
