Why?  Especially since a number of the folks interested in this for
performance want it for SPL OS mode.  Thanks!

Because in SoCs like OMAP4/5 mmc1/2 adma doesn't have access to sram.
So can't have descriptor or src / destination buffers (allocated on stack)
given by mmc core on sram.

And we can't malloc them?


For descriptor yes, but for src / dest, I doubt since
it would be difficult to force the upper (fs, mmc..) layers for controller 
limitation
and some ARCH might require the buffers to be cache aligned

Does malloc return buffers aligned to cache boundary ?
