I think these two will cause compile issues for
!CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER case due to no parameter name for first arg.

Other than that, it looks ok.. although is vmap really less overhead?
Using kmap can use existing lowmem address for lowmem pages.  Or is
the issue that you somehow need access to the entire buffer in one
shot?
