Yups. And I think the solution looks something like this:

u8 obuf[LJCA_GPIO_BUF_SIZE] __aligned(8);
u8 ibuf[LJCA_GPIO_BUF_SIZE] __aligned(8);

__aligned(4) if it's 32bit DMA I guess? 8 always works that's
why we use it all over the IIO subsystem.

I think it must be __aligned(ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN), to account
for architectures with non-coherent DMA.

In theory, yes, you can do that.
Is that a better solution than using what kmalloc() is
designed to provide. I don't think so.
