With the default iova and dma-iommu driver, the starting address of a new buffer would be at lower address than the previous one. This patch can solve this problem simply, but I want a way to control the address direction of the IOMMU/IOVA. The reason why we(ayaka and I) need to do this is simple, some devices want a contiguous memory for its pixel data. But with the single plane buffer, there is not a properly way to export its buffer offsets with the userspace, since their bytesperline and offset are not full related to the picture width or height. You can find more detail in the previous mail. Besides, this patch won't solve all the problem, if you don't disable the size_aligned of the iova driver or there would be a gap between the plane 0 and plane 1. This patch is used for showing the problem we met not for merging.
