[PATCH 0/3] Integration of vb2-vmalloc and VIVI with dmabuf

[Tomasz Stanislawski]

Hello everyone,
The patcheset adds support for DMABUF [1] importing to vmalloc allocator in
videobuf2 stack. This is an incremental patch to 'Integration of videobuf2
with dmabuf' patchset [2]. This patch makes use of vmap extension for dmabuf
proposed by Dave Airlie [3].

The vmap was preferred over the kmap extension. The reason is that VIVI driver
requires the memory to be mapped into a contiguous block of virtual memory
accessible by kernel.  The workaround could be mapping all pages into kernel
memory but the dmabuf-kmap interface does guarantee that consecutive pages are
mapped into consecutive addresses.
