True. It is a requirenment that a HCD work with any kmalloced buffer. The proposed patch does that. Two issues remain 1. Drivers mapping their own buffers. The problem here is that I am not sure we have a valid pointer which can support a copy to a bounce buffer. 2. Some drivers may want to care. Network drivers in particular might be able to employ a memmove instead of a copy.
