Despite what videobuf-dma-contig seems to assume, dma_alloc_coherent() 
makes no guarantee of providing physically contiguous memory. What it 
provides is *DMA contiguous* memory, i.e. from the point of view of the 
device. When an IOMMU is present and managed by the DMA API, such 
buffers may be assembled out of physically-scattered pages (particularly 
under memory pressure/fragmentation).
