Actually, I was thinking on taking a different approach, for all media
USB devices: to let USB core to do the DMA mapping itself, and
not use coherent memory. E. g. something like the approach taken
on this patch:
	https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/47592/

That should give an additional performance improvements to the driver
when used on non-x86 hardware.
