881 * The whole dma_get_sgtable() idea is fundamentally unsafe - it seems
882 * that the intention is to allow exporting memory allocated via the
883 * coherent DMA APIs through the dma_buf API, which only accepts a
884 * scattertable. This presents a couple of problems:
885 * 1. Not all memory allocated via the coherent DMA APIs is backed by
886 * a struct page
887 * 2. Passing coherent DMA memory into the streaming APIs is not allowed
888 * as we will try to flush the memory through a different alias to that
889 * actually being used (and the flushes are redundant.)
