Well it is at least better than before because it makes most drivers 
work correctly again.

See we only fill the pages array because some drivers (like Exynos) are 
still buggy and require this.

Accessing the pages of an DMA-buf imported sg_table is illegal and 
should be fixed in the drivers.

That is certainly a good idea for now, but could we also put on 
somebodies todo list an item to fix Exynos?

Thanks in advance,
Christian.
