my colleage has found the bug: in the function dma_mmap in
arch/arm/mm/consistent.c the call to remap_pfn_range uses user_size in
PAGE_SIZE units, but looks like it is expected in bytes. When using
(user_size << PAGE_SHIFT), it works.

I don't know, where to fix it: Should the lower level calls get the size in
bytes (most function arguments in Linux kernel sources are not commented),
this means fixing the dma_mmap, or should PAGE_SIZE be used, then the lower
level functions needs to be fixed.
