Does unmap_dmabuf work in interrupt context? Since vb2_buffer_done can be called from
an irq handler this is a concern.

That said, vb2_buffer_done already calls call_void_memop(vb, finish, vb->planes[plane].mem_priv);
to sync buffers, and that can take a long time as well. So it is not a good idea to
have this in vb2_buffer_done.

What I would like to see is to have vb2 handle this finish() call and the vb2_unmap_dmabuf
in some workthread or equivalent.

It would complicate matters somewhat in vb2, but it would simplify drivers since these
actions would not longer take place in interrupt context.

I think this patch makes sense, but I would prefer that this is moved out of the interrupt
context.
