This is perhaps a dumb idea, but could the futexes help here? I don't know if they have equivalent on other OSes than Linux.
They would not help. A futex is a fast kernel / user mutex. There is no kernel part, so there is no way to use a futex. If there were a kernel part that submitted the DMA buffers and serviced interrupts, futexes would be a perfect fit.
