Well what you propose here can lead to all kind of problems and is 
rather bad design as far as I can see.

The struct dma_buf_map is only to be filled in by the exporter and 
should not be modified in this way by the importer.

If you need to copy only a certain subset of the mapping use the 
functions you added in patch #1.

Christian.
