The USB control messages require DMA to work. We cannot pass
a stack-allocated buffer, as it is not warranted that the
stack would be into a DMA enabled area.

This fixes at least dvb-usb-technisat-usb2 for me, but probably
the other drivers that are using dvb_usb_download_firmware()
with a Cypress chip are broken with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y right
now. Patch attached additionally, because I don't think
thunderbird will get this right :-(

Subject: [PATCH] dvb-usb-firmware: use DMA buffers for USB transfers

The USB control messages require DMA to work. We cannot pass
a stack-allocated buffer, as it is not warranted that the
stack would be into a DMA enabled area.
