I did not like it in another thread, well, better say I was concerned 
about the increased memory use by the radix tree which would then stick 
around for the obj->pages lifetime (long time for a framebuffer I 
thought). While the temporary array allocations here are not that big 
and very temporary.

I guess someone needs to bite the bullet and try and figure out how 
exactly big is the radix tree for some mixes of more or less coalesced 
sg entries.
