I'm not sure how cheap they are, but I don't think it costs more than copying the bulk data around. That's up to the maintainer to decide.

It will just behave as before. I noticed it *will* work in some cases, although the object is on the stack. I mean the driver seems to work fine at least on some SoCs. So I didn't want to change the behavior if the bounce buffer is too small. Of course we could also return an error here. All the calls with stack adresses I've seen for now were the register reads and writes and the txq handling (the vmm_tables IIRC). 

>Or just assume that large buffers will dma-capable?

See above. It should be large enough. But I didn't audit everything.
