Actually, it's a lot simpler than that.  We're generating the data for
the command, so all we do is send an equivalent command to the array (if
any) and then in the irq routine, kmap_atomic the buffer, copy the array
data into the buffer in the right order for the command then kunmap the
buffer again.  This should work fine, I think.
