I can split this, sure. A non-NULL vec indicates a USERPTR buffer. Before
this patch, non-NULL buf->dma_sgt did the same.

The field existed on bc0195aad0daa2ad5b0d76cce22b167bc3435590, i.e. v4.2-rc2
from which the earlier version of this patch was rebased from.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The condition for sync is changed to
use buf->vec instead, i.e. the functionality is not affected.
