Hello,

I'm really sorry for a late reply, but I was a bit busy with other stuff.

This doesn't look like a part of this part.

I'm aware of the fact that some system might require such method of memory allocation.
I don't want to delay merging it. I hope that one day it will be finally possible to
use dma_alloc_attrs() from dma-mapping subsystem for this purpose and extended 
videobuf2-dma-contig will handle it.

Getting back to your patch - in your approach cpu cache handling is missing. I suspect
that it worked fine only because it has been tested on some simple platform without
any cpu caches (or with very small ones). Please check the following thread: 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg51768.html where Tomasz has posted his 
ongoing effort on updating and extending videobuf2 and dma-contig allocator. 
Especially the patch http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg51776.html will be
interesting for you, because cpu cache synchronization (dma_sync_single_for_device /
dma_sync_single_for_cpu) should be called from prepare/finish callbacks.
