For devices which have constraints about maximum number of segments in
an sglist.  For example, a device which could only deal with contiguous
buffers would set max_segment_count to 1.

The initial motivation is for devices sharing buffers via dma-buf,
to allow the buffer exporter to know the constraints of other
devices which have attached to the buffer.  The dma_mask and fields
in 'struct device_dma_parameters' tell the exporter everything else
that is needed, except whether the importer has constraints about
maximum number of segments.

I know this copies the style of the existing code, but unfortunately it 
also copies the subtle brokenness. Plenty of drivers seem to set up a 
dma_parms struct just for max_segment_size, thus chances are you'll come 
across a max_segment_count of 0 sooner or later. How badly is that going 
to break things? I posted a fix recently[1] having hit this problem with 
segment_boundary_mask in IOMMU code.

This "else" is just as unnecessary as the other two I've taken out ;)

Thanks very much for reviewing this code; and apologies for missing
your patch that you mentioned here; sure, I will update my patch
accordingly as well.
