It is only mentioned for the MMAP memory type:
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html#vidioc-qbuf
although it would make sense to do this for USERPTR as well. Maybe I am trying
too hard to stay 100% faithful to the documentation, I guess it should be corrected 
as well then?
