I think so too. And I have done some changes that avoid strange allocation
scheme and use usb synchronous messages instead of allocating buffers
with unaligned sizes. However things work ok on Intel IOMMU and
there is no documentation what are dma_map_sg() requirement versus
dma_map_single() which works. I think there are some unwritten
requirements and things can work on some platforms and fails on others
(different IOMMUs, no-IOMMU on some ARCHes)
