I don't think this will work since the buffer is used directly for DMA
on some platforms[1] so the buffers need to be at the correct alignment
for that to work. For this reason I think it's better to leave this
as-is since we know the kmalloc buffers will always be useable for DMA
and the code is also easy to read and understand instead of calculating
offsets.
