But only if (buf->state == CSI_BUF_NEEDS_INIT), i.e., only on the first 
invocation. In any case, look at idmac_prep_slave_sg() - it is cheap. To 
do this in .buf_prepare I'd have to store the frame format from the 
.queue_setup() with a list of indices, to which it applies, and then use 
it in .buf_prepare()...
