And this is anyway not related to DMA at all, but to the logic each driver implements when it deals with buffers. There's a lower chance a USB driver driver will have a hard requirement for more than one buffer compared to an AMBA/platform/PCI device driver, but at the end of the day, each driver needs to be analyzed individually to check what they require.
