Hi Laurent

Thanks a lot for the review

Yes dma_alloc_noncontiguous does all the magic. It falls back to
alloc_dma_pages. Christoph has done a great job.

I tried it in my notebook and although the images are nothing but
pretty it is not the APIs fault. It is because the barbers are closed
due to the pandemic ;).

Yes in the early stages. I am adding the latest x86 measurements in
the commit message in v3 to make it more clear.

I Like it! thanks for the idea

How do we take it from here. Christoph merges it from his tree?
