I'm sorry for bringing this issue now, once you have already created v3 of your
patches, but similar patch has been already proposed some time ago. It is 
already
processed together with general videobuf2-dma-contig redesign and dma-buf 
extensions
by Tomasz Stanislawski.

See post http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/70402/focus=49461 
and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/49438 

It doesn't use conditional code inside videobuf2 allocator and rely entirely on 
dma-mapping subsystem to provide a working 
dma_mmap_coherent/writecombine/attrs() 
function. When it was posted, it relied on the dma-mapping extensions, which now
have been finally merged to v3.6-rc1. Now I wonder if there are any 
architectures, 
which don't use dma_map_ops based dma-mapping framework, which might use 
videobuf2-dma-conting module.
