opinions about non-page-aligned buffers?

Hi all,

The request has come up on OMAP4 to support non-page-aligned v4l2
buffers.  (This is in context of v4l2 display, but the same reasons
would apply for a camera.)  For most common resolutions, this would
help us get much better memory utilization for a range of memory (or
rather address space) used for YUV buffers.  However it would require
a small change in the client application, since most (all) v4l2 apps
that I have seen are assuming the offsets they are given to mmap are
page aligned.

I am curious if anyone has any suggestions about how to enable this.
Ideally it would be some sort of opt-in feature to avoid breaking apps
that are not aware the the offsets to mmap may not be page aligned.

BR,
-R
