This is exactly what this patch does - it provides generic vb2 implementation for 
fops->get_unmapped_area callback which any vb2 ready driver can use. This operation
is used only on NON-MMU systems. Please check drivers/media/video/v4l2-dev.c file and
the implementation of get_unmapped_area there. Similar code is used by uvc driver.
