Yes.

Yes, the m2m core serializes the access to m2m src/dest buffer per device.

So, two instances can't access the buffer at the same time. That makes
sense for a real physical hardware, although specifically for the virtual
one, it doesn't (any may not make sense for some stateless codec, if
the codec would internally be able to handle multiple requests at the same
time).

Without this patch, when multiple instances are used, sometimes it ends 
into a dead lock preventing to stop all of them.

I didn't have time to debug where exactly it happens, but I suspect that
the issue is related to using the same mutex for both VB and open/release
instances.

Yet, I ended by opting to move all queue-specific mutex/semaphore to be
instance-based, as this makes a lot more sense, IMHO. Also, if some day
we end by allowing support for some hardware that would have support to
run multiple m2m instances in parallel, vim2m would already be ready.
